Documentary abstract — original language
The global economy is undergoing a profound transformation, shifting from treating clean air, ecosystem stability, and biodiversity as non-market public goods to valuing them as monetizable and investible natural assets. This paper explores the strategic consequences of this transition with particular attention to India’s emerging role in expanding carbon and biodiversity credit markets. Using a comparative case study of six leading nature-based solutions (NbS) initiatives, including Reliance’s Vantara project in India, the analysis evaluates divergent models of scale, governance structures, measurement-reporting-verification (MRV) systems, community participation, and market legitimacy. The results indicate that India’s early mover advantage, strengthened by policy instruments such as the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), can translate into significant competitive positioning. But capturing this value depends critically on deploying rigorous MRV protocols and ensuring fair and transparent benefit-sharing arrangements to protect against loss of reputation. Overall, the study argues that India’s extensive natural capital reserve and forward-looking regulatory approach lay the ground for global leadership provided firms and policy makers prioritise long-term ecological stewardship over narrow, short-term financial gains.
