Environmental markets are a single component of nature finance, but globally underpin many nature-based finance solutions. How we develop these markets and associated finance instruments will be essential to their success in contributing to the Global Biodiversity Framework.
Environmental markets include carbon and biodiversity. Key considerations include the design of fair and equitable contracts for land rights holders, minimum floor pricing and fungibility, governance that protects a given Nature Outcome Deliverable, how risk is shared and managed, and ensuring no loss of rights for land rights holders.
