NEBA, The Trusted Voice of the Mitigation Banking Industry, is continuing to actively track and respond to the efforts by those who wish to undermine quality environmental offsets through in-process ill-formed and non-compliant 'mitigation banking projects'. These efforts would seem to seek new precedents and to discard long-held basic concepts underpinning "mitigation" and "mitigation banking."

Looking back over 2024, it is incredible how far things have come for the environmental banking industry, and still how much work remains.

Here are some of the top stories that grabbed the environmental banking Industry in 2024:

In the year ahead, NEBA will address head-on these new challenges being brought on our environment and our industry. Through our blog post series called “Race To The Bottom”, we are taking a careful look at how the voluntary carbon market helped to destroy itself, we'll profile several unusual 'mitigation banking projects', and we'll continue to advocate for high-quality environmental mitigation in Congress and beyond.

NEBA continues to promote the highest professional standards and to represent the very best businesses in the environmental banking industry. We have sought to consistently build member benefits and to solve member problems. NEBA keeps its costs down and membership dues low, relying on strong volunteer efforts to continue much of its high-quality outreach, education, and membership support.
