Restoring Trust: Rebuilding the Forest Carbon Credit System Through Scientific Rigor
Biological Diversity, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As pivotal nature‐based climate solutions (NbCS), forests are increasingly recognized for their climate mitigation potential. However, this potential is undermined by fundamental flaws in current carbon credit systems. Our analysis identifies four interconnected systemic challenges: (1) subjective additionality assessments arising from ...
