Carbon farming co-benefits: Approaches to enhance and safeguard biodiversity
This report, co-authored by Ecologic and IEEP, demonstrates that despite both the potential benefits and risks of carbon farming for biodiversity, most of the current carbon farming mechanisms fail to incorporate sufficient protections to ensure net positive biodiversity impact. The report identifies challenges and opportunities for implementing standards for biodiversity into carbon farming mechanisms and proposes requirements to ensure that carbon farming standards enhance and safeguard biodiversity, alongside delivering climate mitigation.
