This Panel will showcase real world examples of conservation projects which are funded in whole or part through carbon or biodiversity credits.
These will comprise terrestrial and marine sites including reforestation, rewilding and protection of new and existing high value reserves.
The projects will identify difficulties and solutions encountered in design and implementation, the pros and cons of different financing mechanisms and explore upscaling opportunities to expand investment in nature-based solutions.
