It argues that biodiversity is too complex and site-specific for market-based instruments, and stresses that nature credits must not replace public funding, legal enforcement, or the elimination of harmful subsidies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"547\" data-end=\"1006\">The paper warns that even high-integrity credit schemes require strong safeguards to prevent greenwashing, land grabbing, and social inequities. It calls for non-tradable, locally grounded credits used only as a last resort, and explores alternative non-market approaches like granting legal personhood to natural elements. The response urges the EU to ensure nature credit markets do not undermine environmental protection or sustainability goals.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":101057,"template":"","library_category":[440],"library_tags":[457],"class_list":["post-118811","library","type-library","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","library_category-nature","library_tags-response"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eeb.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library\/118811","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eeb.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eeb.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/library"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eeb.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/101057"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eeb.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118811"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"library_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eeb.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_category?post=118811"},{"taxonomy":"library_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eeb.org\/en_gb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library_tags?post=118811"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
