Wilder Carbon

We would like to extend a big Thank You to WHEB Asset Management for inviting us to their Annual Impact Investment Conference in London last week. It was a great opportunity to raise awareness of the Wilder Carbon Standard for Nature & Climate and talk to impact investors about the importance and urgency of investing in nature climate solutions now to facilitate our Net Zero carbon transition here in the UK and globally. WHEB Asset Management will be providing crucial support to The Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire's Wilder Carbon project, The Great Fen: Speechly's Farm - more information can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e9kdyxEg #naturerecovery #voluntarycarbon #impactinvestment #climatecrisis #biodiversity

A wilder approach to carbon means durability, resilience and biodiversity in abundance, a Natural Climate Solution. View the new comprehensive platform developed to aggregate the full range of evidence that shows this 👇 #natureandclimate #naturalclimatesolutions

🌊 Projects aligned to the Wilder Carbon Standard for Nature and Climate will enable high quality, high integrity Natural Climate Solutions; a vital tool in tackling the biggest threats that we face.  🌍 These projects will make the UK wilder, locking up carbon, boosting biodiversity and providing a sustainable way to maximise the potential of our land, enabling landowners and UK businesses to take meaningful action for climate, wildlife and society. 🥇 But we can't do it alone. Wilder Carbon projects are designed, delivered and assessed by experts in their field. 🗺 This week we are taking a bit of time to share just some of the monitoring experts who are collecting essential data across Wilder Carbon projects to underpin the high integrity position that the Wilder Carbon Standard for Nature & Climate sets out for all of its high quality projects. 🌲Starting with Treeconomy, experts who leverage technology to quantify, track and enable carbon removal at scale. Our Collaborator page transparently lists all those working in partnership to deliver Wilder Carbon projects, contact them directly to find out more: https://bit.ly/4ehs0IF #carbonlockup #datamonitoring #MRV #datacollection #VCM #carbonoffsetting

A big announcement last week from UK government MP Ed Miliband Rt Hon Steve Reed OBE MP and Rt Hon Rachel Reeves on Nature Market Principles signaling their importance in driving action towards nature and climate goals by 2030. This is a strong signal to the market. Businesses that act today will lead the way in building trust, driving impact, and meeting their sustainability goals. At Wilder Carbon, we’re ready to partner with forward-thinking organisations to make this vision a reality.

🌍 UK Government’s Carbon Market Principles: A Game-Changer for Wilder Carbon and Nature-Based Solutions 🌿 The UK government’s Principles for Voluntary Carbon and Nature Market Integrity send a clear message: high-integrity nature markets are vital to achieving global climate and biodiversity goals. This is a pivotal moment for nature markets, and for corporates looking to secure their role in a sustainable future.   At Wilder Carbon, we’ve been championing high-integrity, nature-based carbon solutions since our inception. With our Wilder Carbon Standard for Nature and Climate under assessment for the The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) Core Carbon Principles (CCPs), this announcement reinforces our approach and highlights the urgency for action.   ✅ A Call to Action for Corporates The principles are more than guidelines—they’re a wake-up call for businesses to: 1️⃣ Embed carbon credits into their decarbonisation plans. 2️⃣ Invest in high-integrity solutions that restore ecosystems. 3️⃣ Plan now to secure credits as demand rises ahead of 2030.   ⏳ With time running short, integrating nature-based solutions is no longer optional—it’s essential.   ✅ Why Wilder Carbon? We align seamlessly with the government’s principles: Supporting value chain decarbonisation alongside carbon credit use. Enabling rigorous, science-backed projects that ensure real and lasting impact. Emphasising transparency and credible reporting to avoid greenwashing. Fostering collaboration to grow and protect the integrity of nature markets. 🌟 Act Now for Climate and Nature The UK government’s announcement is a strong signal to the market. Businesses that act today will lead the way in building trust, driving impact, and meeting their sustainability goals. At Wilder Carbon, we’re ready to partner with forward-thinking organisations to make this vision a reality. 🌳 Together, we can secure a wilder, more sustainable future. #ClimateAction #NatureBasedSolutions #CarbonMarkets #Sustainability #NetZero #VCM

OPEN LETTER TO FUTURE CARBON CREDIT BUYERS: Carbon Credits Are Essential Climate Solutions 🎯Carbon markets measure impact. Carbon markets are laser-focused on measuring emissions reduced or removed. 🎯 For most companies, scope 3 emissions account for more than 70% of their total emissions and most companies with Paris Agreement-aligned targets are not meeting their scope 3 targets. Carbon markets offer ways to quantify progress and contributions beyond value chain emission reductions, with rigorous measurement, monitoring, reporting and independent verification, alongside work to decarbonize. Carbon credits from Wilder Carbon projects do more for nature by supporting the restoration of degraded UK carbon rich native habitats, across multiple habitat types, that will help mitigate climate change, and benefit wildlife and society as a whole.

If you wanted to learn more about Wilder Carbon and perhaps get a little more 'under the hood' about where our vision, passion and thought process originates from, please have a watch/listen of this fantastic podcast by Oxygen Conservation below. It really gives you an excellent insight into what drives our CEO and Founder Evan Bowen-Jones and how Wilder Carbon came into being and what we are trying to achieve. 🌍 The podcast also covers how the conservation sector is addressing current challenges and change, how vital it is to have a sense of urgency over addressing climate change and biodiversity loss, to act now, scale our ambitions and restore natural processes - all in a high integrity way. 🥇 If you are inspired to learn more or wish to become an Approved Buyer after watching/listening to this podcast please contact our team at 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼@𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻.𝗰𝗼𝗺 or call 𝟬𝟳𝟳𝟭𝟵 𝟱𝟲𝟲𝟭𝟴𝟯 📞

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) Chair Annette Nazareth says: “We're delighted Wilder Carbon recognises the value of high-integrity carbon credits and has applied for science-based CCP assessment. We encourage all carbon crediting programs, including those focused on carbon removals like Wilder Carbon, to join us in building trust in the #VCM. By undergoing our rigorous “Two Tick” process, programs meeting our CCP criteria can use the CCP label by issuing credits under CCP-approved methodologies, a mark of excellence for high-quality carbon credits."✅ 🌿We are helping build the #VCM 2.0. The Core Carbon Principles set a global benchmark for high integrity that will rebuild trust in the #voluntarycarbonmarket and introduce greater consistency. The CCP label is designed to unlock much-needed private sector investment in climate solutions which would otherwise not be viable, and accelerate flows of finance to countries in the Global South. 📈 🔗Find out more about our work: https://lnkd.in/exQS9rmW

We had a very informative (if wet!) recent trip to visit the team at Somerset Wildlife Trust and their Wilder Carbon Honeygar Farm project. As you can see the former dairy farm is being effectively restored to marsh, wetland and fen to help manage the rather persistent rainfall we have had over the last few months, to create a more biodiverse habitat and reduce carbon emissions from the formerly drained peatland. The Somerset Wildlife Team (Georgie Dent; Simon Clarke, James Grischeff, Paul Tansley) are doing amazing conservation work here, as well as partnering up with some best in class monitoring experts (University of the West of England), to create a highly robust and valuable Wilder Carbon project. If you want to invest in this nature based project as well as hit your net zero goals by 2030, then this project has Estimated Issuance Units (EIUs) available now to purchase.
