Nature-based carbon markets

General information on the area

Nature-based carbon markets involve natural ecosystems characterized by their capacity to absorb and store atmospheric carbon dioxide. These markets underscore the crucial need to protect and restore ecosystems, such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands, as they play a relevant role in climate change through carbon sequestration. Entities that reduce or prevent emissions, and enhance carbon sequestration in natural ecosystems, can earn carbon credits that can be sold to those seeking to offset their emissions.
