The IAPB Nature Credit Studio — where nature credit markets take shape
On 25 October 2026, the International Advisory Panel on Biodiversity Credits (IAPB) will open the doors of the Nature Credit Studio at the Red Bridge Hotel.
What has happened since the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework explicitly recgonised biodiversity credits in 2022? How are nature credit markets developing globally? Has IAPB’s Framework for High-integrity Nature Credit Markets translated into practice? Is demand for nature credits growing and, if so, in what ways? What are the latest innovations driving the next stage of market development?
The Nature Credit Studio is our answer. It's a dedicated, private venue built for meaningful exchange between the people shaping this market: governments, investors, project developers, Indigenous Peoples and local communities, standard-setters and civil society.
Across the day, IAPB and selected partners will lead a programme of sessions designed to:
Showcase the latest innovations in nature credit markets
Foster dialogue between all market stakeholders
Build the cooperation needed to scale high-integrity nature finance
