How the projects seeking to enhance the nature-based solution of wild grassland carbon sinks can benefit from carbon markets at present

- Abstract
- This exploratory mixed-methods case study research is guided by the question of what kind of role carbon markets can currently play in crafting a business model to support nature-based solutions of wild grassland carbon sinks in Europe. By developing a carbon offset project for the nature organisation Rewilding Europe, this research engages with and connects the literature on carbon markets and carbon storage and sequestration to critically reflect on their combined potential to mitigate carbon dioxide emissions. More specifically, this research emphasises on the potential business model of carbon markets as a vital source of financial investment for carbon storage and sequestration projects. The main research question is: “How could... (More)

Qualitative methods used were desktop research, including literature review, and the review of governmental, multilateral, corporate reports, and scholarly articles. Moreover, interviews with Rewilding Europe’s employees were conducted. Quantitative methods included financial analysis of carbon-market data and geographical data on Rewilding Europe’s project-location, both used to create the carbon offset business model. (Less)
