High-quality tropical forest carbon credits are essential to combatting climate change, advancing community-led development and safeguarding biodiversity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a company, navigating the tropical forest carbon credit marketplace can be daunting, particularly in a complex media landscape.<\/p>\n

How should you do it?<\/p>\n

First, don\u2019t miss the forest for the trees. We must halt and reverse tropical deforestation by 2030 to prevent the worst impacts of climate change. We need to use all the tools in our toolbox.<\/p>\n

Private sector finance is key to tackling deforestation at the pace and scale the world needs. As a company, you should decarbonize your own operations as quickly as possible. Alongside this, purchase high-quality tropical forest carbon credits. Such credits are an essential means to stabilize our climate and safeguard biodiversity. Revenues can also improve the lives and livelihoods of some of the world\u2019s most vulnerable forest peoples, including Indigenous Peoples and local communities, who\u2019ve long struggled for just recognition of their conservation efforts.<\/p>\n

Second, do your due diligence \u2013 both of your tropical forest carbon credit purchases, and of the information you consume about the tropical forest carbon marketplace. Both matter, and both support the evolution of forest carbon markets towards ever increasing integrity and quality.
