Native to India and thriving worldwide, this resilient tree offers unique benefits from carbon sequestration and food security to renewable energy. Discover why Moringa is a powerful nature-based solution that supports a sustainable, low-carbon future. 🌿 By integrating Moringa into agroforestry, we can foster resilient, eco-friendly farming practices that not only address climate change but also benefit communities and ecosystems globally. 👉 Learn more in the blog post https://lnkd.in/g8tGzW37. #ClimateAction #SustainableAgriculture #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonSequestration #Moringa #NaturalCaptial

🌱Coconut Agroforestry Project: A Case Study in Climate Impact and Community Upliftment 🌍 Lionheart Farms Philippines Corporation is leading a transformative agroforestry initiative in Palawan, Philippines, turning underutilized grasslands into productive land with over 600,000 coconut palms already planted and 150,000 more planned by 2030. Each coconut palm absorbs 600 kg of CO₂ per year, setting the project up to sequester 450,000 tons of CO₂ annually at maturity, with an adjusted sustainable removal of over 300,000 tons of CO₂. This project not only combats climate change but also creates jobs for rural communities, with 30% of roles held by women and significant involvement from Indigenous Peoples. Aligning with the Philippines' National Greening Program, Lionheart’s sustainable practices contribute to carbon neutrality, biodiversity, and economic stability. 🤝 Impact in Action: By prioritizing community engagement and environmental stewardship, the project is setting new standards in sustainable farming and climate action.

🌍Navigating the Rising Cost and Scarcity of Carbon Credits: A Strategic Roadmap for Businesses 📈 As demand for high-quality carbon credits surges, prices are expected to increase significantly, with up to 50% of credits projected to exceed US$125 per tonne by 2035. This shift highlights the need for businesses to adapt quickly to evolving carbon markets, where low-cost credits are becoming scarce, and removal-based credits are taking a central role. To position themselves effectively, companies can follow a five-step approach: 1️⃣ Assess current and future market context. 2️⃣ Review long-term strategy to ensure resilience. 3️⃣ Identify tipping points & emerging opportunities. 4️⃣ Define distinctive value propositions for 2030-2035. 5️⃣ Act now to create options, manage risks, & gain a competitive edge. 🌱The path to net zero is complex and demands proactive, forward-thinking strategies.
