Thank you for this! Super useful for someone coming from the ecological literature trying to expand into markets, financial tools etc. for biodiversity. Saving this for future use. You have a new subscriber!
Another really thoughtful, and thought-provoking article. So useful, exactly what we need to all get our heads around this stuff, communicate about it effectively within our organisations and solve the environmental crises. Thanks for all that you contribute in getting us there!
A bit like carbon credits or allowances, biodiversity credits exhibit characteristics across a broad range of different assets including commodities, bonds, currencies, and land/property. The trick I think is to employ those things that worked in the respective financial markets to make biodiversity credits more effective at delivering the impact you want to see while also enabling people exposed to biodiversity to manage their risk.
Brilliant explainer! I appreciate the detail and the research you've done in this.
I also see a narrative in myself that pertains to regulation, policy and legislation. And forcing entities to comply.... it seems like the only way these days
Fantastic Simas!!…thanks!!…so well explained…lots of new learning for me…triggering ideas and possibilities to bring more impact in our offerings…
Really glad to hear that Satyam!

Amazing! Thanks Simas. Great to get that feedback.

You're way too kind Edwina..
Fantastic, market-defining piece of work Simas! Well done.
Thanks Sylvain 🙏 Just a perspective that hopefully is useful to some.

Appreciate the thoughtful comment Peter.
Would you add any relevant biodiversity credit properties? I'm sure I missed something.
Hi Simas. I can't think of anything obvious that you've missed.
Have you seen the EU survey on biodiversity credits? Understanding the state of biodiversity credits and their link with the carbon market https://green-business.ec.europa.eu/news/new-survey-understanding-state-biodiversity-credits-and-their-link-carbon-market-2024-05-08_en
Indeed I have Peter. Hearing more European public bodies are exploring biodiversity credits
