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)!

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.

LUONTO TARVITSEE RAHOITUSTA Uusi keino ovat hyvitykset. Komissio julkaisi tänään #naturecredits
tiekarttansa. Se tuo yrityksille uusia keinoja tehdä luontotekoja - mutta ei poista luonnonsuojelun julkisen perusrahoituksen tarvetta! @luonnonsuojelu.bsky.social lausuu 🇪🇺esityksestä syyskuussa.

🪙🌿 At the launch of the Nature Credit initiative, Commissioner Roswall rightly flagged: restoring nature needs more funding.

Private finance can help, but public money is vital for stable, long-term restoration - not just for the easiest projects.

💶 The EU’s next budget must reflect this need.

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.

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!

“The cost of getting permits in Europe probably can be as high as €200 a tonne,” he said. “Or you can go get it in Africa for $3.” This is why carbon offsets and hashtag#NatureCredits will always be linked primarily to projects in the Global South. 2/2
