How can a business that fully supports intersectional action on climate change and nature loss, be wary about nature-based climate solutions (NbCS)? The answer is that we are increasingly seeing a move towards companies choosing NbCS over good old fashioned decarbonisation action e.g. reducing the amount of fossil fuel that a company relies on through its value chain (Scope 1 - 3). 🛢 It's important to keep NbCS in perspective. Whilst they have absolutely have a role to play, they are not a substitute for decarbonisation, especially as we're destroying natural carbon sinks at a much greater rate than we're restoring.  Nature-positive action is equally important as climate action; however, what we want is EFFECTIVE action to tackle both crises, not a muddy middle that greenwashes business as usual. 🏢 If you'd like to learn more, here is a link to our blog on the subject: https://lnkd.in/dEbNVVut

Climate change reporting tends to focus on reducing carbon emissions within companies’ direct operations. However, this isn't always the most effective way to approach reporting. "This narrow approach fails to recognize or reward companies for their innovative contributions to climate solutions beyond their immediate emissions, such as developing green products, influencing policy, or investing in sustainable initiatives," writes Solitaire Townsend and Kaya Axelsson. If we want businesses to be seen and recognized for their work in improving climate change, we have to develop more holistic frameworks that both highlight and reward broader societal contributions regarding sustainability and climate change. #ClimateChange #CorporateResponsibility #ESG
