Egypt Seeks 30% Uplift in Specific Carbon Revenues by Combining Biodiversity (1)

Country’s biodiversity-finance plan seeks to come up with a system this year to create carbon credits that include biodiversity benefits.

Key bit

“While the total value of carbon market trading in Egypt remains unclear to the BFP (Biodiversity Finance Plan) team and the detailed mechanisms require further investigation, the introduction of biodiversity-positive credits could significantly enhance revenue streams.

“These credits, which typically command a 20–30% premium over standard carbon credits, have the potential to significantly increase annual revenue. This initiative is also poised to attract private investments from global green funds and corporations committed to sustainability.”

CarrZee comment: It’s tricky to measure carbon cuts, let alone biodiversity benefits.

Yet …the world desperately needs to start doing it.

In the UK, developers or farmers measure biodiversity before a development and after to ensure there is 10% net diversity gain. See tool info, below.
