The current non-permanence standard for the Paris Agreement Crediting Mechanism (PACM) sets an untenable bar for Nature-Based Solutions (NbS). Requirements for "negligible reversal risk" and indefinite post-crediting monitoring effectively exclude a large pool of land-based removals (AFOLU).
​Integrity without scale is failure. Excluding NbS constrains global mitigation capacity, widens the emissions gap, and sidelines vital climate finance for developing nations.
