What are the top risks & red flags when conducting due diligence of a forest & nature-based project?
Nature-based solutions have gained prominence as vital approaches to address environmental challenges, while contributing to socioeconomic benefits and generating economic gains for impact investors.
However, nature-based projects are complex, and for them to successfully deliver the promised returns and impact, thorough Due Diligence is necessary to identify and mitigate potential red flags and delivery risks. Multiple interdependent factors beyond just carbon credits need to work synergistically together.

What people are saying
“Miscalculated carbon credits aren’t the biggest risk to forestry projects, however. According to Xilva’s due diligence, a lack of critical documentation and “inadequate community and rights-holder engagement” were the most frequently found risks, and can quickly dismantle a project.”
