Urgent Action Needed for Natural Climate Solutions (NCS)

July 9, 2024

We are nearing critical tipping points in nature loss that could accelerate climate breakdown. Private sector investment in NCS is crucial now to mitigate this crisis.

What are NCS?

🌳 Actions to protect, improve, and restore nature.
🌿 Provide climate mitigation, biodiversity, and social benefits.
🌍 Essential for achieving the 1.5°C pathway.
💰 Make up 65-85% of practical carbon credit potential by 2030.

Why Invest in NCS?

💵 Cost-effective and impactful: NCS have higher mitigation potential than other current options.
🌍 Central to a just transition: NCS address climate and economic risks, supporting local communities.
🌱 Scalable across diverse ecosystems (land and ocean).
📈 Nature loss is driving near-term threats to economic growth.
🕒 Mitigation potential of NCS is predicted to decrease significantly after 2030, as ecosystems and carbon sinks reach critical tipping points.

Examples of NCS:

🌳 Reforestation and improved forest management.
🌊 Coastal mangrove and tidal marsh restoration.
🌾 Regenerative agriculture and agroforestry.
🐄 Improved agricultural and livestock management.

The climate and nature crises demand immediate action from the private sector. Waiting for more guidance or stronger public policies is not an option.
