Vivid Economic- The institutional investor's guide to Natural Climate Solutions

Vivid Economic- The institutional investor's guide to Natural Climate Solutions
  • Climate action will drive large-scale deployment of Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) as a complement to the renewable energy transition because 
    NCS represent cost-effective mitigation and negative emission technologies, and deliver substantial co-benefits. The net-zero transition could 
    follow different pathways, but the growth potential for investments in NCS solutions is consistent across scenarios
  • The deployment of NCS will involve a broader sustainable transition that transforms the land use sector:
    o A new land-based asset – carbon sequestration – will be produced and traded, rewarding forests, ruminant meat substitutes and other 
    sustainable products
    •  Agricultural emissions – particularly from ruminant meat and deforestation – will be abated using technical mitigation options and 
      regenerative practices
    •  Yield-enhancing technologies will allow the agricultural sector to meet food demand despite constraints on land availability
      o Emission-intensive products and processes – such as inorganic fertilizers – will be phased-down in favour of less polluting substitutes
    • A number of opportunities can protect investor assets from climate transition risks, whether by reducing risk on current assets or by creating 
      new asset growth areas:
    • Reforestation, afforestation are high potential growth areas, often in areas currently exposed to risks from deforestation
    • Agriculture production techniques that improve productivity and reduce land requirements
    • Alternative protein sources and food waste reduction, both with global market potential
