The EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 is a key element of the European Green Deal with the aim to recover Europe’s biodiversity by 2030. The Biodiversity Strategy outlines an EU Nature Restauration Plan (European Commission 2020)[i] to restore damaged ecosystems and ensure their sustainable management. However,
What is biodiversity worth? Here: Blanktjärnen lakes in Jämtland, Sweden – free to visit, but expensive to maintain. Halting and reversing biodiversity loss is one of the main global priorities today. Starting with the United Nations (United Nations General Assembly 2019)[i], who proclaimed 2021–2030 to be
A carbon credit, labeled as tCO2e, or carbon offset represents the removal of one metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere.

When one is interested in growing trees for a living, one of the most important questions to ask is – will it be possible to grow trees even in the future? There has been a lot of articles and information in the media recently about
Global warming is the largest challenge the mankind has seen. The need for climate action, and tools to mobilize finance for resilient transition towards low-carbon is increasingly urgent. The private sector has a very important role to play if we are to reach the 1.5 degree
Forests could store more carbon through natural climate solutions, or actions that conserve, restore or improve land to increase carbon sequestration and storage. To tap into the full carbon potential of forests, actions can be taken to keep forests as forests, improve the management of
Human activities are causing unprecedented and accelerating global loss of biodiversity. There is a huge global movement for protection of biodiversity which seems only to grow and cannot be ignored. EU has proposed a biodiversity strategy for 2030 in which one of the core actions is
