COP17 Yerevan: Evidence Before Price
What market design research says about scaling finance for nature, and who wins when nature credits scale
ForestSync, the Norwegian startup representing Norway at COP17, the UN Biodiversity Conference in Yerevan, hosted the roundtable Evidence Before Price at the Academia and Research Organisations Hub on 26 October 2026, with Fondazione Sorella Natura and Imperial College London. Nittha Sucharitakul of Imperial College London presented the research: a systematic review of nature-credit case studies against two requirements, effectiveness and equity, asking how well schemes deliver the outcomes they promise and who gains when nature credits scale. Sean Capon, CEO of ForestSync, and Giulia Marzetti, Fondazione Sorella Natura, took the findings to market design: what has to be proven before a price is put on nature, and how a public exchange with an open order book and a verifiable record of every credit keeps the evidence ahead of the price.
