We warmly invite you to propose a session and help us shape the future of carbon farming. This is your opportunity to share your ideas and insights at the summit.
Proposals should present concrete solutions that address the topics listed in the dropdown menu below:
Carbon farming practices for land managers
Practices implementation: concrete solutions, challenges and opportunities for agriculture,forestry and peatlands.
Co-benefits and trade-offs: sharing system views on carbon farming.
Farmer acceptance: what is the value that farmers/land managers give to carbon farming.
Regional/crop-specific considerations: how the local bioclimate, and how the practices that are currently used to grow crops, influence challenges and opportunities for carbon farming.
Practices beyond the farm: how carbon farming interacts with the broader landscape.
Rewarding mechanisms for impactful climate actions
Transformation economy: how rewards take part in a broader, farm-level transition plan.
The Carbon Removal Certification Framework: harmonising standards and recognising schemes to foster transparency and actions.
Types of carbon schemes: practice based, result based, or blended protocols: pros and cons.
Concrete methodologies for carbon farming: balancing the value of a comprehensive approach vs protocols tailored to regional needs and opportunities.
Valorising certificates: sustainability criteria and indicators to go beyond carbon.
Creating stable and predictable demand for carbon farming: reflecting on a market-based climate policy for the agrifood value chain.
Leveraging the power of the value chain: aligning climate pledges, scope 3 reporting and the Green Claim Directive for scaling up carbon farming.
Monitoring and verification tools
Data needs and harmonisation: cost, accuracy and limitations of current approaches to monitor removals.
International initiatives and carbon programmes: experience from carbon farming schemes and standardisation platforms being developed.
Knowledge gaps and emerging technologies: discovering existing solutions and unearthing research & innovation needs in the field of carbon monitoring.
Quantifying carbon claims: baselining approaches for projects, regions and countries.
Towards the EU registry for carbon removals: how to ensure transparency and comparability across different removal types.
Privacy considerations: how to handle the potential public exposure of farm-level decisions on soil and crop management.
In the selection process, priority will be given to applicants that represent multiple stakeholders’ organisations or networking initiatives.
Session Format
Proposed sessions will be 1.5 hours long where multiple voices contribute toward advancing the summit’s goals and objectives.
