问:动物和植物在自然气候解决方案的空间里做什么?是什么激励你每天来工作? 

Zoe Quiroz-Cullen: Fauna & Flora是一家国际野生动物保护慈善机构,在全球范围内合作拯救自然. Our focus spans protecting habitats, saving species, and supporting sustainable livelihoods, working collaboratively across sectors to achieve this. Why? 因为保护生物多样性和生态系统对人类和地球的生存至关重要. 但同时也要确保我们以一种真正尊重过程完整性的方式来做这件事, 确保我们认可和奖励土著人民和当地社区的工作, 谁站在保护和恢复我们赖以生存的自然的第一线. 我每天都被留下一个可以持续支持我们的子孙后代的星球的使命所激励. 

Q: How do you support your projects and partners to adapt to climate change? 

Zoe Quiroz-Cullen通过生态系统和以地方为主导的方法,在我们的工作中嵌入复原力,这确实是机构的高度优先事项. 与此同时,我们和我们的合作伙伴在保护和恢复生态系统方面的工作已经对减缓气候变化作出了巨大贡献. For example, 在94个陆地和海洋项目地点,我们与当地合作伙伴合作,推动对地面保护的影响, we're protecting ecosystems that store close to 1 billion tons of carbon. 我们还认为,获得气候融资在确保这些领域的保护工作的长期未来方面发挥着重要作用.  

Q: What is your relationship with the Natural Climate Solutions Alliance, and what do you think its strengths are? 

Zoe Quiroz-Cullen我们于2019年被介绍回自然气候解决方案联盟,我们很快认识到其正规博彩十大网站的相关性和重要性, 不仅在私营部门建立更大的自然气候解决方案(NCS)需求和规模, 同时也是一个机会,让我们真正了解什么是NCS世界中的高质量:无论是在NCS自愿碳信用额的使用方面, and the quality of the NCS credits themselves - in particular, 强调生物多样性和社会效益作为所有成功的NCS的基础组成部分的关键作用. 

The NCS Alliance aligns with Fauna & 弗洛拉的正规博彩十大网站,它有很多技术和政策专家参与其中, with a real depth of experience in this field. The collaborative approach of the NCS Alliance is vital, 它还有助于确保私营部门在实现正规博彩十大网站排名的过程中得到支持. 它在加深对高质量和负责任地使用NCS的理解方面发挥着关键作用, and ensuring a robust and credible voice for nature-based solutions. 

因此,对我们来说,支持联盟的工作仍然是一个真正的优先事项, 我也很高兴看到,在过去几年里,它为会员提供的服务的深度和多样性确实在不断扩大. 

Q: Does Fauna & Flora support the use of carbon credits by businesses? 

Zoe Quiroz-Cullen: Absolutely. The finance gap for the protection and sustainable management of nature is vast. 然而,我们必须加快保护和恢复自然生态系统的进程. It's fundamental to our objectives on reversing biodiversity loss, 也要接近我们的气候目标,让巴黎的目标触手可及,避免气候变化带来的最坏影响.  

So yes, we really believe that high-integrity, nature-based markets, including nature-based carbon credits in the voluntary carbon market, have a key role to play in helping to close the finance gap. It's not the only route, we need finance from many and varied complementary sources, 但我们认为自愿碳排放市场可以发挥非常重要的作用. 通过雄心勃勃的脱碳目标和行动,企业在发挥领导作用方面发挥着关键作用, but going beyond this to deal with unabated emissions. 投资于高质量的自然活动在这方面发挥着非常重要的作用.  

In concluding our conversation with Zoe, 很明显,她对自然保护的奉献远远超出了对自然的保护——它代表了对子孙后代的承诺. The steps that organizations like Fauna & 植物群为人类和自然平衡共存的世界奠定了基础.  

如果你受到自然气候解决方案在塑造我们共同未来中的重要作用的启发, 我们鼓励你更多地了解NCS联盟,以及你如何为他们的使命做出贡献.
