A LinkedIn post from Space Intelligence highlights growing concern over early-stage reversals in afforestation, reforestation and revegetation, or ARR, carbon projects. The post notes that fire, drought and basic sapling survival can significantly undermine carbon outcomes in the first years, and that these risks may be underestimated at the investment stage.

According to the post, Space Intelligence and consulting firm AFRY plan to address these topics in a webinar featuring carbon project experts Dr. Alexis Moyer and Dr. Jack Lonsdale. Drawing on ARR assessments in Africa, South America and the U.S., the session is positioned as offering practical insights on identifying and mitigating early-stage project risks.
For investors in carbon markets and nature-based solutions, this focus suggests an emphasis on improving risk assessment and due diligence around ARR projects. Better understanding of early-stage reversals could influence project selection, valuation assumptions and the perceived reliability of ARR-derived carbon credits.
The post also implies that Space Intelligence is building thought-leadership around risk management in carbon projects, which may strengthen its positioning as a technical partner for institutional investors and developers. If the company can translate these insights into services or tools that lower project risk, it could enhance its role and revenue potential within the evolving carbon markets ecosystem.
