Delivering A Just Transition Through Nature-based Solutions: Practitioner's Guide to Creating a Just Transition with NbS Investments

Terra Global Capital has published a thought leadership paper on “Delivering A Just Transition Through Nature-based Solutions: Practitioner's Guide to Creating a Just Transition with NbS Investments.”

The paper provides the origins of the Just Transition, its role in Climate Agreements and UN Resolutions, and, most importantly, the business case for the Private Sector to invest in NbS if we are to ensure the transition to net zero is equitable and just. 

How the private sector invests in NbS will drive whether the investments will truly deliver a Just Transition for the countries and communities engaged in NbS projects and programs. To address this, Terra Global has presented a framework that includes nine Just Transition criteria for NbS investments. For each criterion, a list of good practices indicators that investors should adopt have been provided to ensure climate finance investments are being deployed to promote a Just Transition.

Terra Global believes that as the carbon markets expand, NbS investments will play a key role in driving the transition to a green economy. If utilized properly, they can support the convergence of economic benefits to developing countries, risk mitigation for investors and corporates, and alignment with global climate goals.
