FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Maharlika Carbon launches Kana Earth as the Premier Nature-Based Solutions & Natural Capital Infrastructure Platform further operationalising Article 6 Nature-Based Solutions and the Environmental Markets for the Philippines.
Manila, 27th of February 2024 – Maharlika Carbon, an Environmental Markets Venture operationalising Article 6 of The Paris Agreement for the Philippines is launching Kana Earth as its Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and Natural Capital Infrastructure Platform as the next stage in both the Article 6 Registry and scaling of the Philippines ability to sequester carbon on land and in the sea.
Kana Earth’s offering enables both the supply side of the Nature Based Solutions market via Kana Hub, and the demand side of the Natural Capital market via Kana Seed.
Kana Hub helps to digitalise, enable and scale the supply of high-integrity environmental and carbon sequestration projects, offering farmers, project developers, landowners, verifiers and codes a platform to manage projects, make them investable (both Natural Capital and Regenerative Agriculture Credits) market them to investors and offtakers, and collaborate seamlessly with all parties. Kana Hub opens these Regenerative Nature Based Solutions up to large-scale investment through its integration with Kana Seed.
Kana Seed offers asset and investment managers a platform to frictionlessly manage Natural Capital investment, regenerative farming and land portfolios, which will rapidly increase domestic and international capital flows into these invaluable projects and scale carbon sequestration and Regenerative Agriculture Credits.
This Environmental Infrastructure, deployed at the country level marks the latest technology milestone in Maharlika Carbon’s commitment to operationalising Article 6 and building an Environmental Market by enabling a sustainable environmental, social and economic future for communities that depend on the land and sea across the Philippines.
As a visionary natural capital infrastructure, Kana Earth recognizes the urgent need for comprehensive and innovative approaches to combat climate change and to make natural capital an accessible, efficient asset class. In alignment with this mission, Kana Earth continues to streamline over 50% of the Nature Based Solutions in the United Kingdom, along with enabling Natural Capital as an investable asset class.
Nature-Based Solutions, encompassing a range of strategies leveraging the power of nature to address climate-related challenges, have gained prominence as essential tools in the fight against global warming. Kana Earth, part of Maharlika Carbon technology stack, will empower farmers, landowners, project developers, businesses, banks and sovereigns in the Philippines to seamlessly integrate nature-based solutions into their food security and decarbonisation strategies. Alongside this, the infrastructure will allow domestic and international investors in Natural Capital access to this new asset class in the Philippines.
Key features of Maharlika Carbon’s Kana Earth Nature-Based Solutions and Natural Capital Infrastructure platform for the Philippines include:
Enabling a Diverse Market: Kana Earth’s NatureScriptTM technology enables frictionless roll-out of new project types and scientific methodologies onto the platform. This flexible template generator means that new or existing guidance can be adapted and rolled out to project developers and verifiers instantly.
