Biodiversity bonds are emerging as a key tool in sustainable finance, projected to reach $300 billion by 2024.
These bonds, including Use of Proceeds bonds and Sustainability-Linked Bonds, finance projects that conserve biodiversity.
While standardization and data disclosure remain challenges, investor interest is growing due to both potential returns and increasing recognition of the systemic risks of biodiversity loss.
Vertical farming leverages soilless systems like hydroponics to grow crops in controlled environments, addressing urban food security and sustainability.
Repurposing industrial spaces, it maximizes space efficiency, reduces emissions, and revitalizes cities.
Offering year-round, high-yield production while avoiding soil contamination from "forever chemicals," vertical farming improves access to fresh produce.
Technological advancements position it as a sustainable solution for urban agriculture, economic growth, and healthier communities.
Biodiversity credits are a new way of funding nature protection. They are measurable, traceable, and tradeable units designed to finance the conservation and restoration of nature.
Biodiversity credits offer a market-based approach to tackling the rapid decline of ecosystems. The concept hinges on the principle of “no net loss” of biodiversity.
The article provides a comprehensive overview of biodiversity credits, including their definition, benefits, functionality, and real-world applications.
The report advocates for sustainable energy storage solutions, emphasizing the need to diversify beyond lithium-ion batteries to non-chemical alternatives like pumped hydro and thermal batteries.
It highlights the rising demand for energy storage due to renewable energy growth and technologies such as AI and electric vehicles.
The report also discusses challenges with chemical batteries, including complex value chains and reliance on critical raw materials, and notes the trend of organizations seeking energy independence through nuclear power.
The Abaris Waste Management Special Report highlights the inefficiency in global resource use, with only 8.6% of over 100 billion tons of resources recycled annually.
It emphasizes the severe health and environmental impacts of waste pollution, which contributes to over 9 million deaths each year.
The report advocates for robust policies, innovative technologies, and circular economy principles to transform waste into economic value and promote sustainable development.
The report emphasizes the critical role of blue carbon ecosystems—such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses—in carbon sequestration, coastal protection, and biodiversity support.
It advocates for the use of blue carbon credits to incentivize the conservation and restoration of these habitats, highlighting their efficiency in storing carbon and the additional environmental and socio-economic benefits they provide.
