Biodiversity certificates

In partnership with the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle and Fondation pour la Recherche sur la Biodiversité, Carbone 4 has initiated a research program around biodiversity certificates. This includes the development of a methodology to quantify the biodiversity gains of field projects (restoration, conservation, changes in agricultural practices) and the proposal of guiding principles to frame the mechanism as a whole. This is to avoid potential rebound effects, and ensure that the mechanism makes a real and effective contribution to the global effort to restore and conserve biodiversity.
