Revalue

We look at the latest carbon credit methodologies available from Verra, Isometric and others as the start line, not the finish line. 🏁 💨 The Revalue Algorithm: 1. Select the latest and greatest Methodology and best practices available today. 2. Review objectively and rigorously. Where are they strong and where are there limitations? 3. Keep the strengths. Add Model Features which go well-beyond the Methodology and common practices where there are limitations. 4. Continue to add and evolve Features until we have a new Model which provides the most cutting-edge and trusted carbon credits for the planet. 🌎 The Revalue Algorithm is why our Model designs already go beyond the latest methods from Verra, the ABACUS label, and other leading standards. This is what we obsess over every day. 🌳 #DesignedForNature #RevalueModel #RevalueAlgorithm

I’m excited by the innovation in the biodiversity metrics and monitoring space. However, I think the language of biodiversity ‘credits’ may create the wrong mental model for the system. 🌳 🧠 Credits are considered fungible, meaning they are interchangeable. This makes sense for carbon credits because one ton of CO2 in the atmosphere is the same as another ton of CO2 in the atmosphere. Biodiversity is not fungible - we can’t equate tree frogs with elephants (and habitat proxies only go so far). A similar mental model mistake was potentially made at the start of the carbon markets, where carbon credits were considered a ‘commodity’, like oil. However, carbon credits are potentially closer to bonds. While they are equivalent instruments, I wouldn’t swap my 10-year US treasury with another anonymous 10-year bond. Just as not all bonds are equal, not all carbon credits are equal - they are not a commodity. This is why having effective Ratings Agencies is so important. To be clear, I firmly believe payments for biodiversity and ecosystem services is important and desperately needed. We are going through the sixth mass extinction event (the Holocene extinction), with the last being 65m years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs. I’d just gently push us to move away from the term biodiversity ‘credits’ and find more effective language to create clearer thinking as we tackle this together.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Revalue’s vision statement recently, and we’ve come back to the first articulation of our vision - “Seeing nature regenerated at the planetary scale.” One of the most upsetting sights, for me, is flying over tropical forest and seeing that line which marks the end of nature and the start of degraded lands or monoculture as far as the eye can see. Seeing animals on the very edge of their rapidly logged habitats. It’s devastating. Revalue’s vision is the opposite of this. Instead of seeing nature ever retreating, we want to see nature being restored - seeing the frontline of nature moving forwards again - year after year. It is seeing it and experiencing it that really connects us. So, this is what we want in the world - to see nature regenerated at the planetary scale. 🌳 #Revalue #DesignedForNature #NBS
