The global demand, and associated price, for high-quality carbon removal credits seems to be rising, yet the past two years has seen the price of many REDD+ credits remain well below $10 per ton. While these low prices may be enough to dissuade tree clearance in some places, in others it will likely remain more lucrative to pursue other activities, such as clearing forests for agricultural commodities. In fact, analysis by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has suggested that a price between US$30-50 per tonne for nature-based credits is required to incentivize widespread, large-scale action. Of course, any increase in the price per tonne is dependent upon buyer confidence in the quality of credits, as well as having a clear business case, which includes consideration of their Scope 3 emissions.
What do recent developments in the REDD+ space – including the major breakthrough for Article 6 at COP29 and the approval by the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) of three REDD+ crediting methodologies under its Core Carbon Principles (CCP) – mean for REDD+ carbon credit pricing?
Join a distinguished panel of experts to learn more about the outlook for REDD+ carbon credits in the year ahead. This one-hour webinar will feature a presentation by Forest Trends followed by a moderated discussion and Q&A.
