What do swamps, whales and underground rocks have to do with the #heatwaves that are plaguing the world today?
 
European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service noted that “June 2024 was warmer globally than any previous June in the data record” in their recent #Climate Bulletin. As global warming continues to break records, there is a pressing need to remove or avoid the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. 
 
This is where swamps, whales and underground rocks have a crucial role to play as seemingly unlikely #carbon sinks.
 
🌾 #Swamps, including bogs, marshes and wetlands, are considered to be highly effective carbon sinks due to their immense root systems that store #carbondioxide and the slow rate of decomposition of roots and organic matter in such ecosystems due to the water-logged soil.
 
🐳 Apart from being one of the most loveable mammals roaming our oceans, #whales are great carbon sinks! Whales are capable of storing carbon in their bodies over a long lifespan, which can stretch up to 200 years. This translates to a potential for a single whale to sequester around 33 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year, which is equivalent to the sequestration potential of approximately >1,000 trees over the same period. 
 
⛰ Underground #rocks, through new climate technologies, have the potential to store large amounts of carbon dioxide. #Geological #sequestration injects carbon from the atmosphere into rock formations deep underground where it is intended to remain indefinitely. However, more remains to be done to scale these technologies and bring down the cost curve to encourage adoption. 
 
More critically, the key takeaway is that we need to continue to explore all avenues to reduce and mitigate the devasting effects of #climatechange. There is tremendous opportunity for climate action in every nook and cranny of Earth - be it through an unlikely area of wetlands, flora and fauna in our neighbourhoods, or through the unassuming rock formations that reside deep beneath our feet.

“It has been an incredibly humbling learning journey. Tackling the challenges and issues involved in #nature and #biodiversity financing is complex and multi-faceted. Carbon financing for restoring and conserving natural ecosystems is also an enabler for driving positive biodiversity outcomes.”

Speaking on a panel discussing ‘Biodiversity Finance and Nature-Related Risks’ at the Impact and Sustainable Finance Faculty Consortium Convening 2024, our Investment Director, Ling Min Hoon, shared her views on leading nature-based solutions investments at GenZero and the key tools the future generation needs to be equipped with to thrive in this space. 

“It requires a multi-disciplinary approach and the ability to think holistically and critically, taking into account the multiple stakeholders involved and impacted through the process,” she said. 

Key takeaways 👇 
🌐 #Carbon, nature, and biodiversity are interlinked. It is imperative that we adopt a systems-level approach to solve issues holistically rather than in insolation.
🌳 Carbon projects are a way to deploy much-needed resources and financing towards positive biodiversity outcomes. #Naturebasedsolutions that aim to restore and conserve natural ecosystems often have co-benefits on biodiversity and local communities as well. 
🎥 Carbon financing enables robust measurement, reporting and verification (#MRV) technologies to be deployed not just towards carbon stock monitoring through remote sensing, but also tracking biodiversity outcomes through the use of bioacoustic sensors and camera traps.  
⏳ Positive biodiversity outcomes can have a long gestation period, especially when it comes to the restoration of natural ecosystems on degraded land. We are racing against time, and it is key that we take action today.

Thank you to the #Impact & #Sustainable #Finance Faculty Consortium for organising and inviting GenZero to be part of this exchange, and Professor Carlos Vargas, Ph.D., Joanna Tan from New Forests, and Guillermo T. from Citi for the engaging panel discussion! 

We look forward to more efforts to convene thought leaders and leading university faculty members who teach impact and sustainable finance courses to exchange experiences from across the globe to develop the expertise needed to propel the field forward.

“Take action. There is no #netzero without carbon markets. We need to direct the financing required toward climate solutions. Everyone has a role to play in the value chain, and it is imperative that we continue to have conversations and think about how we can collectively improve and raise the bar for quality and integrity in the carbon markets,” shared Ashley Chan, Director of Investments, #GenZero at Singapore Sustainable Finance Association (SSFA)’s first capacity building workshop on #carbonmarkets.
 
Speaking at their workshop on ‘Unpacking the Carbon Value Chain’, Ashley gave the attendees insights into the perspective of an investor as she shared GenZero’s global mandate of accelerating #decarbonisation by investing through patient capital and strategic #partnerships.
 
Key takeaways 👇 

💰 Carbon credits, as an additional source of revenue, can be a key lever to enhance the financial viability of #climate solutions 
✔ Investors need to have rigorous project selection and robust due diligence when it comes to assessing projects
✳ However, there could still be risks and uncertainties that are beyond investors’ control. While these risks cannot be eliminated, they can be mitigated at the project and portfolio level
💡 #Innovative solutions such as long-term offtake partnerships, concessionary capital and carbon insurance could be a way to balance risks alongside portfolio level diversification
 
GenZero is proud to be a member of #SSFA and collaborate with industry leaders across the #financial and #realeconomy sector to support the growth of #Singapore as a trusted #sustainable #finance centre. 
 
Thank you SSFA for organising this capacity building workshop to deepen knowledge and build greater readiness and awareness on carbon markets as we journey towards a net-zero Singapore!

🎁 In the words of Marvel’s #DrStrange, “The greatest gift we can receive is to have the chance to make a difference.” 

🤔 If you had a chance to make a difference and shape the future of #carbon markets, what would your next steps forward be?

This was a question #TeamGenZero pondered on as we challenged one another and stretched our thinking through the development of the #GenZeroCarbonScenarios report. 

Together with The Weird and Wild, we distilled salient points to note for an overview of the report launched last month.

Our GenZero Carbon Scenarios report explored the complexities of the #carbonmarket landscape and possible future scenarios for carbon markets: 

💚 #GreenNewWorld – As humanity collectively rallies for greater #climate action, could we see a stronger push for high-integrity carbon projects and trading between standardised carbon markets?
🤝 #SustainablyDivided – In a future marred by geopolitical uncertainties, could carbon markets be an important tool in bridging international partnerships?
💥 #ResilientIslands – With extreme weather disasters exacerbating tensions, could we see greater fragmentation for the carbon markets as international cooperation for climate action wavers?

These scenarios are not predictions or forecasts, but instead narratives about the possible futures to help us better understand how driving forces can impact outcomes and thereby craft strategies that move the needle for climate action irrespective of how the different futures may play out. 

💡 #FoodForThought: In a world with many possible futures, how do we ensure that we have no regrets and what would your no-regret move for carbon markets be?

Swipe below to discover the different trends that could shape the current landscape as we know it, and the possible futures abound for carbon markets.

Did you know that #rainforests are the oldest living ecosystems on Earth with some surviving in their present form for at least 70 million years? (credit to National Geographic)

Let’s take a pause this #WorldRainforestDay to celebrate the diversity of life that owes its existence to this incredible ecosystem.

A living museum of around 40,000 plant species and 2.5 million different insects, rainforests are believed to be home to half of the world’s plant and animal species. 

Aside from being home to the other living things we share this Earth with, rainforests also play an important role in:

🍃 Being a #carbon sink, taking millions of metric tonnes of carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere every year 
☁  Regulating weather systems through their absorption and creation of rainfall
🌱  Preventing soil erosion and flooding by anchoring the soil with their deep roots

However, despite all the great contributions that rainforests have done for us, around half of the world’s rainforests have been destroyed in the last century. This translates to a massive loss of ecological wealth, with significant consequences for the planet's health.

The #AmazonRainforest is particularly vulnerable, facing threats from illegal logging, cattle ranching, and agriculture. (#Photo below shows an aerial view of illegal Amazon #deforestation)

If we continue with current rates of deforestation, the remaining rainforests could vanish within the next century. 

Here are some actions we can take to reduce deforestation and protect our rainforests:

1️⃣ Support rainforest #restoration and protection 
2️⃣ Use less paper
3️⃣ Recycle paper and cardboard
4️⃣ Support sustainable wood products / by-products
5️⃣ Reduce meat consumption
6️⃣ Use less firewood 
7️⃣ Share awareness on the severity of the issue and steps we can collectively make to drive change

Let’s help keep our rainforests around for as long as we can.
