Lack of trust and knowledge about operational risks.
Climate projects often do not restore nature but just create plantations for short-term carbon storage which cause further harm to ecosystems.
Investors do not posses the technical knowledge to understand the risks of different restoration projects across multiple geographies, whilst current standards do not consider ecosystem resilience.
Systemic Risks
The destruction of nature and the overstepping of planetary boundaries is destroying economic resources.
Regulatory Risks
Governments are defining strict rules for companies to act upon reversing biodiversity loss.
Reputation risks
Companies that destroy forests and biodiversity will not survive on the market in the long term.
