Sorry to interrupt your feed but…today we’re celebrating the launch of Reduce and Invest – an exciting campaign for the voluntary carbon market. Its message is clear: It’s better for the planet and better for your business when you balance your [carbon] books. It’s one thing to commit to net zero in the future, but quite another to take responsibility for your continued contribution to the problem – your emissions today, tomorrow, next year… So what should be done? It’s simple: Reduce and Invest in equal measure ⚖️ 📉 Reduce: your corporate emissions as fast and as far as possible. Rapid decarbonisation of your supply chain is critical and urgent. 💰 Invest: in climate solutions beyond your business through the Voluntary Carbon Market – solutions that accelerate net zero globally. Emissions today, balanced by investments today. Equal and opposite. Like for like. Every tonne, every time. Go to Reduce and Invest's website to discover what real corporate climate leadership looks like >> www.reduceandinvest.com #ReduceANDInvest #ClimateChange #CarbonMarkets #VCM #NetZero #Offsets #Emissions

🤔 Are you confused about ‘beyond carbon benefits’? Well, never fear. We have created a short explainer to shine light on this important, yet little-understood topic. The climate and nature crises are entwined with sustainable development. This is why quality nature-based projects include beyond-carbon benefits by design. These benefits are not just a ‘nice to have’, when effectively embedded into a project’s DNA they create powerful, positive impacts for local communities and biodiversity. Alongside carbon reduction and removal we prioritise projects that benefit local people and local species. While our portfolio projects address most of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Respira intentionally targets UN SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), 13 (climate action), 14 (life below water), and 15 (life on land). Scroll through the images below to learn about the beyond-carbon benefits our flagship portfolio projects create for people and planet 👇 #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonCredits #VoluntaryCarbonMarket

Your term in post may be relatively short, but your legacy will be long. The decisions you take now – and the strategic direction you set for your business – will play out over a critical time for the planet 🌏. Nobody chooses to be a CEO in a climate crisis. But it’s fallen to you. And unfortunately, there is no playbook 📕 for what good corporate climate leadership looks like. There is no instruction manual. Yet the pressure to act – to decarbonise – is real and coming at you from every side. So here’s what should be at the top of every CEO, CSO and CFO’s to-do list: balance your [carbon] books. ✅ How can you do that? By applying this simple strategic mantra to your business: Reduce and Invest . Reduce Reduce your corporate emissions as fast and as far as possible. Rapid decarbonisation of your supply chain is critical and urgent… Invest …while simultaneously using the voluntary carbon market to invest in climate solutions above and beyond your business – solutions which can help accelerate net zero on a global scale. Emissions today balanced by investments today. It’s better when it’s balanced ⚖️. Better for the planet. And better for your business.

💬 Nature-based and engineered carbon removals both have growing roles to play in the transition to net zero, yet too often these strategies are framed as an either /or. 📈 To counter this false binary, we have produced this chart to forecast the changing use of carbon credits from now until 2050. 🔋 Since 2010 we have already witnessed a dip in tech-based reduction credits. As it becomes increasingly affordable for renewable energy projects to run without carbon finance, these credit types will decline. 🌳 We are currently approaching the peak for nature-based reduction credits. By 2030, it is expected that most forest conservation projects will run on a jurisdictional level. 🪵 However, when we hit global targets to end deforestation, we will naturally see nature-based reduction projects replaced by nature-based removal. 🌍 It is expected that around 2030, BiCRS and enhanced mineralization carbon credits will take off. As nature-based reduction projects tail off around 2040, BiCRS and mineralization will likely experience rapid expansion. 🛠️ Around this time, we will also see a rise in tech-based removal credits as projects become more affordable and scalable. By 2050, these solutions will account for a far larger volume of greenhouse gas removals. *This infographic is produced by Respira and depicts our estimates of future timelines based on targets for climate and nature.

🤝 What makes an effective long-term partnership between a project developer and carbon finance business? To answer this question, we spoke with Jo Anderson , co-founder of Carbon Tanzania and Ed Hewitt , our Director of Natural Climate Solutions. Jo and Ed discuss how creating a long-term partnership helped them overcome challenges each organisation faced; the roles they play in the voluntary carbon market, and how integrity of nature-based climate solutions is the core of successful collaboration.

🤔 Unsure how the voluntary carbon market supports the race to net zero? Want to know what ‘net zero’ actually means? And how is it different from ‘carbon neutral’? And the correct use of carbon credits in all this? We have a flyer to help. We must reach a state of net zero emissions by 2050. This means corporates and governments must take substantial and immediate actions to reduce and mitigate their existing emissions before 2030. With very little time left, it’s more important than ever that we understand the role of the voluntary carbon market in the global transition to net zero.

The recent newspaper headline “Trees and land absorbed almost no CO2 last year. Is nature’s carbon sink failing?” creates alarm. It might leave you thinking: Is nature no longer removing carbon emissions from the atmosphere? But there’s more to this story… We highly recommend a new article from Conservation International . Two leading scientists offer us a balanced, nuanced reality check. Bronson Griscom said: “Reported increases in forest fires and droughts in parts of Amazonia and other places around the world are real and profoundly concerning. Unreported are ongoing increases in forest growth rates in many other places where nature has been allowed to regrow, as well as around the world due to carbon dioxide fertilization, extended growing seasons and higher rainfall. Ours is a vast and complex planet, and these two contrasting outcomes are true at once. “Likewise, this article is both accurate in raising concerns, and inaccurate in implying there are not vast geographies where protection and restoration of ecosystems are working well. Indeed, the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finds that natural climate solutions are the largest climate mitigation sector, larger even than the energy sector.” Read the full article here >> https://lnkd.in/dSdvYnEr #ClimateMitigation #ForestConservation #NatureBasedSolutions

This is what real corporate climate leadership looks like. And the principle is simple: balance your [carbon] books. Every CEO, of every company, in every sector, should be looking to apply this simple mantra to their business: Reduce and Invest . 📉 Reduce Reduce your corporate emissions as fast and as far as possible. Rapid decarbonisation of your supply chain is critical and urgent. 📈 Invest Simultaneously use the Voluntary Carbon Market to invest in climate solutions above and beyond your business – solutions which can help accelerate global net nero. Emissions today, balanced by investments today ⚖️. It’s both. And in equal measure. Equal and opposite. Like for like. Every tonne, every time. It’s better when it’s balanced.

⏰ Tick tock, time to unlock. To respond to the urgency of the climate crisis, we need to reduce emissions and scale investment into the voluntary carbon market. Humanity must cut its global carbon emissions to ensure a resilient, climate-safe world, both for people today and in the decades to come. Businesses have a critical, immediate role to play through decarbonising their businesses. Carbon markets are an important interim solution to help businesses reduce emissions now. They complement, but do not substitute, other carbon reduction efforts and help channel necessary finance to projects that benefit nature, climate, and communities. In short, we must reduce AND invest. Nature-based solutions financed by carbon credits provide up to one-third of the necessary carbon mitigation to reach global climate targets. They are a cost-effective solution to the climate crisis that can drive returns for investors while bringing sustainable investment to underserved communities, helping support livelihoods, protecting natural ecosystems, and enhancing biodiversity. At Respira, we invest in the highest quality carbon credit projects through long-term contracts with project developers, providing financial security and benefits to all partners. We primarily invest in nature today whilst keeping an eye towards the technologies of the future. Stay tuned to watch our CEO, Ana Haurie , explain Respira’s business model. #CarbonCredits #VoluntaryCarbonMarket #NatureBasedSolutions
