Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Limited scale and restricted commercial rights over traditional knowledge in the socio-bioeconomy.
• Unfavorable market conditions for nature-intensive bioeconomy enterprises due to perverse fossil fuel and environmental subsidies.
• Need for risk capital, often blended with public funding, for higher-tech bioeconomy, especially early-stage businesses, particularly in the Global South.
• Lack of common measurement standards and related data to measure and guide progress.
• Lack of enabling trade and associated investment rules to encourage principles-aligned bioeconomy-related trade.
• Current lack of systematic analysis of the bioeconomy due to shortfalls in data.

Mitigation Strategies

• Convergence on high-level principles for the bioeconomy to inform policy making and market development.
• Development of common measurement standards and data to guide progress.
• Deployment of existing ‘sustainable finance’ instruments such as nature credits and sustainability-linked financing.
• Use of blended, public-private instruments, especially in low to middle-income countries.
• Integrated approach connecting enterprise and market development with public awareness, infrastructure, fiscal arrangements, education, and research.
• International cooperation to scale positive impacts and mitigate risks.
