Speakers

Key Session Themes
- Last year, BiCRS -particularly Biochar - accounted for over 90% of carbon credits. Will it keep its 'significant mitigation' potential or will duration raise questions? How can we increase the private capital representation?
- Do we risk reducing natural ecosystems to one metric – carbon? What effective strategies are there for putting a price tag on nature?
- The success factor of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) removal projects hinges on accurate monitoring and measurement mechanisms. What has been the progress?
- Is there an opportunity to double down on NbS in the Global South, especially Latin America? What has been the outcome when doing so?
- NbS often bring about tangible co-benefits, including social benefits and business opportunities. What have been the success stories in Latin America, particularly in rural and underserved areas?
