Nature-based carbon removal is attracting renewed attention as governments and major companies look for credible ways to combine emissions reduction with ecosystem restoration.
Brazilian reforestation developer Mombak delivered an initial batch of carbon-removal credits to buyers including Google, marking early deliveries under the Symbiosis Coalition, whose members have committed to contracting more than 20 million tonnes of nature-based carbon removals by 2030.
Across emerging markets, forest restoration, biodiversity protection and carbon finance are increasingly being viewed as interconnected parts of sustainable development, although scrutiny over credit quality and environmental integrity remains important.
