🤝 WA3RM and Bio3 join forces to build a large-scale #animal #feed #production #facility at NorSea's eco-industrial park in Averøy, Norway. 🍽️ 🐟 Thanks to this initiative, BIO3 will transform by-products from the agricultural and forestry industries into #nutritious and versatile fungi-based #proteins in large volumes. 🏦 Additionally, WA3RM will manage the financing through green bonds and long-term loans with the help of #financial partners. 🔝 NorSea partnered with WA3RM to leverage its facilities and develop projects that convert waste streams into new resources. https://lnkd.in/dZppH_tv

Global AgInvesting Day 1: It was great to debate with Philippe L'Equilbec and Dwain Lingenfelter perspectives on Natural Capital Investing across regenerative agriculture, sustainable forestry and ecosystem services, discussing the different return and impact profiles of each vertical, and how blending exposure to the different sub-sectors can deliver impact at scale with potential strong risk adjusted returns. If you’re at the Landmark today (for Day 2) hope to catch up with you later!   Climate Asset Management   #NaturalCapital #NatureIsCapital #RegenAg #SustainableForestry #EcosystemServices #NetZero #NaturePositive

🌍 NbS Takeaways from the Corporate Investments into Forestry & Biodiversity (CIFB)🌿 The Corporate Investments into Forestry and Biodiversity event this year (Oct 1 & 2), brought together globally leading organisations across the full value chain. Here are the interesting common themes our team took away from the event: 1️⃣ Co-Benefits are no longer seen as voluntary: The market now believes that co-benefits are no longer "nice to have", but essential for nature-based carbon projects. At Social Carbon we’re proud to be championing this, mandating all projects robustly monitor non-carbon impacts of their projects. 2️⃣ Growing appetite for insetting: Corporates are increasingly looking at insetting as a way to measure emission reductions and/or removals achieved through interventions within their value chain. 3️⃣ High Integrity is multi-faceted: High integrity nature-based carbon projects are not just about the Standard or Methodology - they are holistically designed, aligning to robust science, and also grounded locally to ensure interventions support sustainable livelihoods for lasting impact. #Sustainability #ClimateAction #CarbonMarkets #NatureBasedSolutions #biodiversitycredits

Six years ago, Robert Hairstans and I were hosting the launch of the "Roots for Further Growth" forest industry strategy in our timber laboratory - aiming to double that £1bn to £2bn by 2030. Let's see if we can turbo charge the next six years and reach that target. https://lnkd.in/eBNMjBcj And https://lnkd.in/ewHumKai

“Forestry must be seen as a key constituent of a transition to a circular bioeconomy, not a just a source of carbon sequestration.” 💬 Oliver Hughes, Managing Director of Forestry, comments on the potential #climate impact #naturalcapital investment and carbon credits could have in an article for New Private Markets. The WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development suggests that annual investment into nature-based solutions needs to double by 2025 in order to meet the 2030 Paris Agreement goals. However, investors should not see investments into strategies that can offer #carboncredits, such as forestry, purely as a tick-box exercise for offsetting, but rather as an added bonus. https://lnkd.in/eHitTFMf (Article behind a paywall)
