Experts Propose Maharashtra Carbon Bank to Monetize Ecological Assets and Support Climate Action
Experts at the Bamboo Economy Sustainability Summit 2026 proposed establishing a Maharashtra Carbon Bank to monetize the state's natural ecological assets like bamboo, mangroves, wetlands, and forests. The initiative, led by B N Kumar of NatConnect Foundation, envisions a Green-Blue Carbon Coalition to scientifically measure, verify, and certify carbon stocks, enabling participation in emerging carbon markets. This framework aims to link nature conservation with climate finance, channeling revenues toward restoration and local communities as India develops its domestic carbon market.
