We are delighted to share this policy brief, published in collaboration with Instituto Interamericano de Cooperación para la Agricultura (IICA) and VCMI, on how high-integrity carbon markets can enhance biodiversity outcomes in Latin America and the Caribbean. Key themes: ?? Nature and Climate Together: By integrating biodiversity as a core goal in carbon projects, Latin America and the Caribbean can lead in sustainable agriculture and conservation, achieving impactful climate action while protecting ecosystems. ?? Carbon Markets Driving Biodiversity: Carbon markets hold the potential to fund biodiversity-focused projects, ensuring economic growth for rural communities while enhancing climate resilience. ?? High-Integrity Carbon Projects: For effective climate and biodiversity outcomes, this brief helps inform governments and investors to create a positive regulatory enabling environment to prioritize projects with core biodiversity benefits, creating high-value opportunities in carbon markets. ?? Investing in Nature: Join us in advancing LAC’s environmental goals. Private investment in carbon markets can bridge the $700 billion annual funding gap, supporting agriculture to deliver biodiversity and climate wins.
