Funding conservation and restoration of coastal ecosystems
(German Environment Agency, 2026) Fallasch, Felix; Siemons, Anne; Rickels, Wilfried
This publication analyses the advantages and disadvantages of carbon credits compared to other financing instruments for protecting and restoring coastal ecosystems. Nine instruments are examined, including emission credits, biodiversity certificates, development cooperation, and blue bonds. Several aspects such as scalability, financial stability, carbon accounting, and project integrity are explored. Findings suggest that carbon credits offer scalability and long-term revenue potential but are hindered by high transaction costs, market volatility, and risks to environmental integrity, particularly when used for emission offsetting. The report targets professionals in climate change, conservation, and sustainable finance.
Analysis of selected Blue Carbon projects in the voluntary carbon market
(German Environment Agency, 2026) Jennerjahn, Tim; Fallasch, Felix; Siemons, Anne; Wissner, Nora; Lauer, Sophia; Reise, Judith; Liste, Victoria; Janas, Leon
This report examines the risks and opportunities of using carbon crediting mechanisms to fund the protection and restoration of coastal ecosystems. It evaluates seven projects registered in the voluntary carbon market, focusing on key challenges related to integrity risks such as additionality, quantification, permanence, safeguards, and double counting. Despite uncertainties in measurement methods, the report highlights that projects tend to adopt conservative estimates of carbon removals. Aimed at stakeholders in carbon crediting programmes, policymakers, and researchers, it emphasizes the need for improved data collection and peer-to-peer learning to enhance project outcomes.
Climate protection measures in coastal ecosystems
(2026) Reise, Judith; Fallasch, Felix; Siemons, Anne; Schneider, Lambert; Jennerjahn, Tim; Rickels, Wilfried; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
The publication explores the climate mitigation potential of Blue Carbon ecosystems (BCEs) like mangroves, seagrasses, and tidal marshes. It investigates how to protect and enhance these natural carbon sinks through improved financing, accounting, and reporting mechanisms. At its core, challenges and opportunities for integrating BCEs into climate strategies, particularly in terms of carbon sequestration and safeguarding marine carbon stocks, are examined by this report. Aimed at policymakers, researchers, and environmental organizations, the research provides insights on developing effective Blue Carbon measures and incentives for their protection in the context of international climate policy.
Grundlagenarbeit zur Etablierung eines Labels für inländische Treibhausgaskompensation
(2026) Tänzler, Dennis; Kopaleyshvili, Alexandra; Machnik, Denis; Schambil, Katrin; Kreibich, Nicolas; Schulze-Steinen, Max; Deutschland. Umweltbundesamt
Das Vorhaben „Grundlagenarbeit zur Etablierung eines Labels für inländische Treibhausgaskompensation“ untersucht angesichts der gestiegenen Nachfrage nach inländischen Treibhausgaskompensationsprojekten und Contribution Claims, welche Perspektiven ein inländisches Label für Ausgleichsprojekte hätte, um zur Qualitätssicherung und Transparenz entsprechender Ansätze beizutragen. Als zentraler Bestandteil des Vorhabens wird geprüft, welche Möglichkeiten zur Kennzeichnung eines inländischen Kompensationsbeitrags oder Klimaschutzbeitrags praktisch umgesetzt werden können und welche Herausforderungen sich diesbezüglich stellen.
