Carbon markets and restoration

Why it matters

The IPCC confirms that carbon removals are essential to limit warming to 2°C, and as the window for cost-effective mitigation narrows, scalable solutions are increasingly urgent. Forest restoration, supported by high-integrity carbon markets, provides a proven and cost-effective pathway to deliver removals at scale. At the same time, it addresses the biodiversity crisis, offering significant potential to restore connectivity, expand habitats for threatened species, and strengthen ecosystem resilience in degraded and deforested landscapes.
