Carbon

Universally recognized authenticity checks, price points created by non-arbitrary forces and a way to reward those already farming sustainably are needed – this is a market with a lot left to prove.

Sustainability manager Nick Reinke says ag carbon credits are ‘a long way away from a free-flowing market’ and prices are ‘a bit arbitrary at this point.’

Climate change minister James Shaw says the annual reporting requirements will apply to all institutions with more than NZ$1bn in AUM.

HSBC Pollination will launch a $1bn fund that will invest in forestry and agriculture as well as a $2bn carbon credit fund that will invest in carbon abatement assets such as rain forests.

Partner Josh Katz says companies across the supply chain are increasingly focused on how agriculture will fit into future emissions regulation.
