## Resource

Carbon markets are well-established, but a new frontier in environmental finance is emerging: biodiversity credits. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how companies are starting to pay for measurable improvements in ecosystem health—from restoring wetlands in Louisiana to protecting rainforest corridors in Costa Rica. They break down the pilot program launched by the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and the early pricing data from the first biodiversity credit exchange in the UK. Lucas explains why biodiversity credits could avoid the integrity pitfalls that plagued early carbon offsets, thanks to stricter monitoring and geospatial verification. Luna asks whether this is just greenwashing 2.0 or a genuinely new asset class. The hosts also discuss the role of insurers and pension funds as early buyers, and what it means for land managers and conservation groups. A focused look at a market that is still tiny—but growing fast. #BiodiversityCredits #NatureFinance #TNFD #CarbonMarkets #EcosystemServices #GreenFinance #Conservation #ESG #NaturalCapital #Biodiversity #CarbonOffset #EnvironmentalEconomics #GreenPolicy #SustainabilityCosts #ClimateFinance #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
