Selling Nature: the EU's role in creating markets for biodiversity As the ecological crisis accelerates, the EU is promoting “nature credits” as a supposed solution – inviting markets to help fix what markets have helped destroy. Forests, wetlands, coastlines and far...

#NatureCredits won’t save nature, they’ll commodify it.

We can’t keep inviting markets to 'fix' what they helped destroy. The carbon credits fiasco is proof enough

So why is the EU Commission pushing this? Read our 🆕 study with @rosaluxeu.bsky.social on the motivations & interest groups behind it👇

Bit silent here as it's the last hours before the break, with still lots to do: i.a. checking various over-summer consultations @ec.europa.eu, e.g. @jessikaroswall.ec.europa.eu on an env #omnibus (we must not allow deregulation) or on #NatureCredits (can't replace missing nature money in the #MFF)!

Three quarters of #businesses in the euro🇪🇺 area depending on #nature

#NatureCredits are emerging as an innovative tool while offering new income opportunities for farmers, foresters, fishers, landowners and local communities while helping them #restore #ecosystems 🌍

ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

Brussels published a new #naturecredits roadmap, seen as a tool to unlock private financing to fund ecosystem restoration and #biodiversity protection.

However, critics are sounding the alarm over what they fear may become another greenwashing tool.

More about this new instrument below

EU’s roadmap for #naturecredits confirms the fears we expressed about the leaked version. We understand that #naturecredits will most likely be used as international compliance offsets. 1/3

EU's draft roadmap on #NatureCredits raises serious concerns and questions. We find that EU’s €37bn biodiversity funding gap could be closed entirely by redirecting existing subsidies to harmful activities, and doesn't require “making nature investable,” 1/3

What do the #CSRD have to do with the future #naturecredits market ? More than you might think

While Brussels is pushing for a cash-for-nature scheme, it seems to ignore that its #omnibus cuts on #sustainability reporting can prevent it from launching.

Commission's nature credit push faces economic and political hurdles - Euractiv Finance experts say there is currently “no demand” for biodiversity credits.

The EU is trying to create a #naturecredits market, but the scheme is raising concerns amid weak market demand and fears from NGOs that it could undermine public funding.

If enviro folks are wondering if they should worry about the EU obsession with #NatureCredits & the pandering to Big Business, the answer is HELL YES!

"Keir Starmer has told us. His attack on environmental regulation, he states, has been inspired by “my conversations with leading CEOs”."

EU Commissioner for Environment, Jessika Roswall, is organising today a roundtable discussion on #NatureCredits. The fact that only one NGO has been invited, the WWF, one that has long supported #biodiversity credits, while other participants are big agribusiness lobbies & financial institutions 1/2

“In five years, someone may want to pay me double what I’m being offered now. It may look attractive today, but in 30? Forget it!” 2/2 #NatureCredits #BNG
