助力投资自愿碳市场与自然生态市场指导文件

新西兰气候变化部长西蒙・沃茨（Simon Watts）发布相关指导意见与配套工具，助力民众安心参与自愿性自然生态市场及碳市场交易。

沃茨表示：“政府致力于推动可信可靠的自愿市场发展，使其能够切实为生态环境、气候治理及整体经济带来实效效益。”

沃茨称：“湿地修复、本土树种种植这类举措均属于基于自然的解决方案，既能清除大气中的碳、保护生物多样性，还可减轻洪涝灾害影响。

“海内外企业、机构及慈善投资者均有意投资新西兰相关项目，究其原因，是认可本国稳定的地缘政治环境与优良的生态环保口碑。

“规范可信的自愿市场能够为气候治理、生态环境与经济发展带来实实在在的效益。但投资者必须确信自己购入的是高品质信用额度，且可进行公开透明的成效声明，以此避免陷入漂绿争议。”

此次更新后的指导文件，将帮助市场参与方明晰优质项目应具备的标准与特质。

沃茨表示：“该指引明确了各项准则，阐明采购方需甄别核查的核心要素，确保所投项目的环保成效真实可信。碳汇相关项目活动必须具备额外性、持久性、真实性与可量化性，同时做到信息公开透明、杜绝重复核算，并充分尊重相关主体合法权益。”

此番指导文件与配套工具正式发布，是落实新西兰政府本周早些时候公布的发展本土自愿生态市场与碳市场相关举措的重要举措。

沃茨称：“本周早前政府公布的优质项目机制与核算方法认可方案，同样以此类准则为核心依托。这将方便项目供给方，包括项目开发方、农户、土地所有者、毛利部族、环保从业者及社群组织，打造公信力十足的合规项目，进而吸引更多资金投入。

今日同步上线线上指引及配套工具，助力各类机构探索更多碳清除实施路径。此举是继去年发布碳清除评估框架后的延续举措。

沃茨表示：“该工具可协助企业筹备科学评估申报工作，帮助相关主体判定各类碳减排举措是否具备科学可行性，消除各类不确定因素。（中文由AI翻译，请仔细甄别）

Guidance to support investment into voluntary carbon and nature markets

Climate Change Minister Simon Watts has released guidance and tools to help New Zealanders take part in voluntary nature and carbon markets with confidence.

“The Government wants to support the growth of voluntary markets that are trusted and able to deliver real benefits for nature, the climate and wider economy,” Mr Watts says.

“Activities like restoring a wetland and planting natives are nature-based solutions that remove carbon from the atmosphere, protect our biodiversity and even reduce the impact of flooding.

“Businesses, corporates and philanthropists, here and overseas, want to invest in New Zealand’s projects because they value our reliable geopolitical landscape and strong environmental reputation.

“Strong and credible voluntary markets can deliver real benefits for the climate, environment and economy. But investors must be able to trust they’re buying high quality credits and can make transparent claims, so they’re not accused of greenwashing.”

The refreshed guidance will help participants understand what high-quality, projects should look like.

“Under the guidance, principles describe what qualities buyers should look for to be confident they are investing in projects that make solid environmental claims. Carbon activities must be additional, durable, real and measurable. They must also be transparent, not double-counted and respectful of rights,” Mr Watts says.

The release of the guidance and tools supports the Government’s approach to grow New Zealand’s voluntary nature and carbon markets announced earlier this week.

“The same principles underpin the Government’s endorsement of high-quality schemes and methodologies announced earlier in the week. This will make it easier for project suppliers – developers, farmers, landowners, iwi, conservationists and community groups – to build high integrity projects which will help them attract more funding,” Mr Watts says.

Also announced today are online guidance and a tool to help organisations explore other carbon removal options. This follows the Assessment Framework for Carbon Removals released last year.

“This tool supports businesses to prepare to submit an application for scientific assessment. It will help people understand whether an activity is scientifically robust, cutting out uncertainty,” Mr Watts says.
