Why we formed the coalition
Southeast Asia has immense potential for implementing high-quality NbS
Diverse habitats and species
Southeast Asia contains 15% of the world’s tropical forests (including intact forests), 35% of the coral reefs, 25 million hectares of peatland and many more unique ecosystems. In addition, 20% of the world’s vertebrate and plant species are found in this region.
High density, nature-dependent communities
Southeast Asia is home to 650 million people, many of whom are highly dependent on nature for their livelihood as well as food security.
Natural Landscapes of the Future: Strengthening Southeast Asia's Climate Resilience
Southeast Asia encompasses roughly 25% of the planet's investible forest carbon, 19-49% of its blue carbon, and nearly 97% of tropical peatlands carbon sinks.
Our Goals
Unlocking Southeast Asia's NbS potential
Southeast Asia holds huge potential to harness NbS as it accounts for 15% of the world's tropical forests (including intact forests), 35% of the coral reefs, 25 million hectares of peatland.
The SCeNe Coalition aims to accelerate & scale up demand for and supply of high-quality Nature-based Solution (NbS) in Southeast Asia (SEA)
Scaling Climate Finance to deliver high-quality NbS
Demand for carbon credits is expected to exceed supply by 635Mt by 2030, representing a potential additional funding opportunity of $8-32Bn
The SCeNe Coalition aims to direct carbon and climate financing, towards high-quality, triple-benefits NbS
