To scale up high-quality Natural Climate Solutions (NCS), it has become mission-critical to build trust among different stakeholders. In recent years, concerns about the integrity of NCS credits have been raised repeatedly, focusing on measurement, additionality, leakage, permanence, baseline setting, verification and equitable benefit sharing. However, with more than 20 years of international efforts to generate and trade NCS credits, great strides have been made in addressing these issues.
The NCS Lighthouses build trust by highlighting NCS examples which also generate positive outcomes for nature and people. They elevate the successful human, community, business and environmental stories behind these initiatives and shine a light on what investing in best practice looks like on the ground.
In order to ensure that NCS Lighthouses provide a true beacon for best practice, the NCS Lighthouses are selected based on screening criteria developed by an NCS Alliance Taskforce comprised of NGOs, businesses and solution providers, which have demonstrated alignment to the NCSA's quality principles for NCS credits, as presented within 'Natural Climate Solutions for Corporates'
