From Theory to Practice: Implementing Carbon Removals in Agricultural Supply Chains is designed to help you navigate the uncertainty in engaging with scope 3 removals. Join 3Keel’s Head of Agriculture & Landscapes, Catherine McCosker, and Consultant Megan MacGillivray, who specialises in scope 3 FLAG sector carbon accounting.
Context
On 20th February, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol announced that the final release of its Land Sector and Removals Guidance has been postponed until the fourth quarter of this year. For the time being, key areas of uncertainty, especially surrounding the requirements for accounting for scope 3 carbon removals, will remain unresolved. However, we strongly encourage our clients not to let this hold them back from taking action. Supporting farmers and suppliers to manage land sustainably and deliver land-based carbon removals remains as important as ever, and early action within your supply chain is key.
There are concrete, practical steps you can take before the guidance is finalised, and this webinar is designed to give you the confidence to begin the work or build on what you’ve already started.
Our webinar will cover
- A refresher on removals: what they are and what a viable approach for delivering carbon removals within FLAG supply chains could look like
- Current state of play on removals: what guidance is relevant, recent developments, what works now and what is likely to change
- Practicalities: what steps can be taken now to begin supporting the delivery of carbon removals within your supply chain
- Engaging producers, suppliers, and farmers
- Establishing traceability
- Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification
- Developing collaborative approaches within landscapes, including consideration of allocation of outcomes
Who should attend?
This webinar is designed for anyone in the agrifood sector who:
- Is looking to understand how to engage with their supply chain to support the shift to sustainable land management and delivery of carbon removals
- Wishes to understand how to account for removals from regenerative agriculture or climate programmes
- Has set or is looking to set scope 3 FLAG targets, and is exploring the potential to report removals against these targets
