Credit Where Credit's Due: Identifying the Core Principles for a High Integrity Biodiversity Credit Market
We are facing unprecedented loss in biodiversity globally in large part due to the unsustainable use of our land and seas. With biodiversity being crucial for combating climate change, providing essential resources like food and water and supporting livelihoods, the cost of inaction is far greater than the cost of taking action for nature, climate, people and the global economy.

The Economics of High Seas Protection
The growing exploitation of fish on the high seas has raised concerns due to by-catch of threatened species, habitat destruction, and overexploitation of commercially important pelagic species, such as tuna. High-seas fisheries can also impact coastal fleets, as many species targeted on the high seas are straddling stocks, spending part of their lives in coastal waters, meaning poor management of the high seas can have widespread consequences.
