The Satoyama Mace Initiative has introduced new carbon mitigation and sequestration methodologies aligned with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. These standards aim to merge climate action with ecosystem restoration and community development to ensure carbon credits provide genuine environmental benefits. Developed through an international review process involving UN agencies and academic experts, the framework focuses on scientifically robust monitoring and verification. The goal is to move carbon markets beyond simple emissions reductions toward a model that actively restores biodiversity and ensures equitable benefit-sharing.
