AI continues to increase in relevance and usefulness in carbon markets. Looking back on Terra Global’s feature in the Q4 2025 edition of Environmental Business Journal (EBJ), this edition focuses on technology advancement across environmental industries, including the verified, nature-based carbon market, with an emphasis on the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI).
In the EBJ Q&A, Terra Global shares how AI-enabled Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) is reshaping jurisdictional and nested REDD+ (JNR) programs and dynamic baseline, accelerating the maturity of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as institutional-grade investments. The discussion highlights how machine learning, satellite imagery, LiDAR, and near-real-time monitoring, leverage AI to reduce uncertainty, lowering transaction costs, and improving the credibility and bankability of forest carbon and other ecosystem service assets.
The interview explores how AI is transforming climate finance, enabling more precise carbon and biomass estimation, continuous risk monitoring, and performance-based financial structures. Terra Global goes to address emerging applications of AI beyond carbon, including biodiversity, soil health, and water services, and the implications for investors seeking scalable, high-integrity environmental markets.
Environmental Business Journal is a leading source of strategic market intelligence for the environmental consulting, engineering, and climate technology sectors. This edition brings together industry leaders exploring how digital innovation is reshaping the sector, including firms such as ERM, ICF, and SCS Engineers, alongside climate and data-driven innovators like Pachama, Chestnut Carbon, and Intuitive AI.
With nearly two decades experience deploying climate finance and AI-supported technical systems across jurisdictional and community-led programs worldwide, Terra Global continues to contribute to innovation that supports integrity and efficiency of verified carbon market. As AI reshapes climate finance and environmental decision-making, its responsible deployment is crucial to mobilizing capital at scale to high-integrity NbS Programs and advancing a just transition to net zero.
