ANTALYA, Türkiye, Nov. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- AQUAE Labs today announced the launch of over USD 25 million worth of fully insured ecosystem credits under the AQUAE Labs Ecosystems Conservation Index (ALCI) at COP31, the United Nations Climate Change Conference. The credits are issued and managed on AQUAEChain, an institutional-grade platform powered by MindChain. Insurance coverage for the ALCI credits is provided through Lloyd’s syndicate partners.
The AQUAE Labs Ecosystems Conservation Index (ALCI) is a comprehensive field-based monitoring, recording, and verification (MRV) framework designed to evaluate the biomass, biodiversity, and ecological functionality of terrestrial ecosystem types following the approach defined by the IUCN and other replicable scientific approaches. ALCI measures seven key areas of ecosystem performance: above-ground biomass, oxygen production, water purification, cooling, soil water retention, living soil, and biodiversity. These measurements inform the transparent valuation of the ecosystem services represented by the credits.
