Why is local compensation through natural carbon sinks so important?
Compensation can come with major public benefits
- Increase biodiversity, public health, urban resilience and social cohesion
- Significant reduction of premature deaths e.g. through enhanced microclimate or reduced particulate matter concentration
- Save costs by preventing climate related damages e.g. from flooding (~5x the investment costs)
Compensation requires learning and tailored solutions
- Building trust in projects and methodologies
- Evaluating potential to scale up as implementation takes time
- Identifying funding opportunities
