Nature-based carbon markets

General information on the area: 

Nature-based carbon markets are mechanisms through which natural ecosystems, like forests, mangroves, and peatlands, are protected or restored to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, thus helping to mitigate climate change. These markets create economic incentives for conservation by allowing landowners and communities to sell carbon credits, representing the carbon their land has absorbed. By aligning economic gains with conservation goals, these markets support biodiversity conservation, local livelihoods, and global climate targets, while also encouraging sustainable land management and development practices.
