Glossary of Key Terms
Launchpads bring together farmers and landowners, investors, developers and partners who want to participate in an area of environmental impact in the NZ Climate Innovation market.
Joining a Launchpad allows you to register your interest in selling or investing in environmental outcomes in a specific area of impact, such as regenerative dairy farming or natural regeneration on whenua Māori. Once you’ve registered, we’ll keep you updated on progress and you’ll be one of the first to access the Claims and Pledges available from this Launchpad.
View the current launchpads available.
A Claim is a unique assertion about an environmental outcome occurring at a specific time and location. A Claim may confirm positive management practices, or the achievement of a target outcome.
For example, a Claim may contain the proof that a farmer has reduced the Greenhouse Gas Emissions generated from their farming business. Or, a Claim may contain the proof that a group of farmers have restored the health of a waterway.
Claims will be tradable on the NZ Climate Innovation market. Each Claim contains verifiable data that proves the credibility of the environmental outcome that has occurred.
A Claim template contains the scientific model that specifies the measurement data requirements, analysis and processing of that data and the methodology needed to prove an environmental outcome has occurred in a specific time and place.
All Claims that will be listed for sale in the NZ Climate Innovation market are supported by a science-backed Claim templates.
A Pledge is a digital contract to undertake a regenerative project and collect the data that proves the resulting environmental outcomes. The Pledge uses the transparent management of measurement data (supported by tech) to facilitate a trusted exchange between farmers and landowners and investors.
For example, a Pledge may be a farmer committing to transition their farm to regenerative agriculture. Or, it may be a complex undertaking involving multiple investors and deliverables such as a number of stakeholders committing to achieve a predator free zone for the protection of native biodiversity.
A Pledge template defines a set of achievable milestones and the measurement framework that supports a person or group of people to undertake a regenerative project in the environment and collect the data that proves the outcomes.
A Land Assessment captures the features on the land and your current management practices to understand the current and future potential to list Claims for sale on the NZ Climate Innovation market.
You can complete a Land Assessment after registering on a Launchpad.
Right now, we're working with farmers, and landowners seeking to achieve environmental outcomes in the areas of regenerative agriculture, native reforestation, freshwater protection and biodiversity enhancement.
Our team will connect you with the tools and templates to help you measure and track your environmental outcomes so that you can sell Claims with confidence.
Over time, the NZ Climate Innovation market will support many different types of projects seeking to generate income from the regeneration of Aotearoa.
Claims contain verifiable data that proves environmental outcomes occurring on the land and will be purchasable on the NZ Climate Innovation market by anyone wanting to invest in the regeneration of Aotearoa New Zealand.
