Background issue paper
Agenda

Throughout their history, carbon markets have attempted to incentivize GHG emission reductions and removal enhancements on natural landscapes, largely through the protection and improved management of forests. While dozens of methodologies, protocols, and programs have been created over the years to address other natural landscapes and management activities (with varying levels of success), crediting for soil carbon accrual remains an area of immense opportunity but limited success. However, there are several efforts underway intending to change the status quo. The Climate Action Reserve is organizing this workshop in conjunction with IETA’s Carbon Forum North America to identify the barriers to a scalable, standardized approach to soil carbon crediting, and highlight the various programs and approaches that are currently trying to tackle this problem in North America and around the world.
