Biodiversity Credits: An Overview of the Current State, Future Opportunities, and Potential Pitfalls
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Biodiversity credits are an emerging vehicle for pro‐environmental financing, yet much uncertainty remains around how and when they could boost biodiversity conservation. Here we define what biodiversity credits are and explore impact pathways through a proposed theory of change. Based on evidence from 34 pilot projects and a review of lessons
