But it&#8217;s important to remember carbon is not the only tool we have to protect forests and natural ecosystems. <\/strong>Carbon finance is one of a diverse array of &#8220;bioeconomy&#8221; approaches that can put an economic engine behind conservation and restoration. Carbon markets are among the more mature of these approaches, but they&#8217;re far from the only game in town.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So we&#8217;re dedicating this Resilience Dispatch to the bigger picture: a fuller suite of strategies for building the new forest bioeconomy.<\/strong> Here you&#8217;ll find insights on a set of emerging strategies that Forest Trends supports for delivering finance to stop deforestation and drive restoration\u2014from carbon finance, to watershed investments, to agroforestry value chains, to investments in risk mitigation, to wood innovations, to biodiversity finance.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re working to demonstrate bioeconomy delivery mechanisms themselves, and thinking about portfolio approaches to connecting them &#8211; by, say, helping to forest based supply chains that shore up biodiversity, or finding new ways to tag carbon claims on to non-timber forest products, or stacking multiple investment streams to make a project viable. And there&#8217;s a lot to do to build the enabling market infrastructure &#8211; including simply articulating the full set of opportunities; taking advantage of new data and technological advances, especially when they can benefit indigenous peoples, local communities, and smallholders; developing a shared and standard vocabulary for talking about the benefits of projects; and creating enabling conditions in terms of the policy, investment atmosphere, and social license. A broad and unusual coalition is needed to put all of these pieces together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And we want to never lose sight of the foundation: the communities and land managers on the ground. <\/strong>Any new bioeconomy needs to work for them, or it doesn&#8217;t work at all.<\/p>\n<p>The COP and government actions are vitally important. Carbon markets are vitally important. But our planet&#8217;s forests are incredibly diverse. Our strategies for protecting them can be, too.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: lora,georgia,times new roman,serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\">Best,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"font-family: lora,georgia,times new roman,serif;\">Michael Jenkins<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table class=\"mcnDividerBlock\" style=\"min-width: 100%;

These dynamics suggest a market consolidating around a smaller but committed set of buyers willing to pay premium prices for higher quality credits. Demand is particularly high for nature-based credits that are certified for co-benefits and Sustainable Development Goals, according to the report\u2019s authors.<\/p>\n[<a style=\"mso-line-height-rule: exactly;
