Mini Masterclass (Live Session) Understanding Nature Credits

Description

Nature credit markets are gaining momentum as governments, investors, and organisations look for new ways to finance the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems. While carbon markets are relatively well established, nature credits are still emerging, with evolving standards, market mechanisms, and governance frameworks. This creates both opportunities and uncertainty for organisations considering their role.

In this 90-minute live online Mini Masterclass, participants will gain a practical introduction to nature credits, how they differ from carbon credits, and the current state of global nature markets. Through real-world examples and discussion of emerging initiatives, the session explores where nature credits may create value, the risks organisations should be aware of, and how they fit within broader sustainability and nature-positive strategies.

Designed to be interactive and accessible, the session provides practical guidance for organisations seeking to understand this rapidly developing area.
