# Core Benefits Label

**All finance is climate finance.**&#x20;

**Is your investment “healthy”? Is your project “nutritious”?**

The Core Benefits Label is the deliverable from the August 2021 Climate Sprint which set out to answer "**How can we best value long-term co-benefits and ecosystem services when mobilizing climate finance?**"&#x20;

The Core Benefits Label offers a novel approach to valuing ecosystem services and co-benefits in climate finance. It was developed through a collaborative, rapid-development process aimed at providing clear, actionable insights for valuing long-term environmental and social benefits alongside traditional climate and financial goals. Inspired by nutrition labels, the Core Benefits Label helps investors and stakeholders identify and support climate projects with significant ecological and social impacts, enhancing transparency and evaluation for broader benefits beyond mere carbon reduction.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.basin.global/dossier/other-projects/core-benefits-label.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
