Carbon Farming Summit : high-level conversations to shape up robust carbon farming markets and policies

Conferences Webinars - By : Julia GRIMAULT / Simon MARTEL

The carbon farming summit gather experts, economic actors, and decision makers to share knowledge and experiences about the carbon farming. It aims at upscaling solutions and enabling the multiplication of climate actions across the EU in the land-based sectors.  

 

Dates : 4th to 6th march 

Location : Dublin 

 

I4CE was involved in 3 sessions of the Summit: 

 

1. Low hanging (tree) fruit – reaping forest-based carbon removal potential, identifying challenges and gaps to open doors to forest management solutions. 

This session was focused on the specificities of forestry for carbon certification: how to define carbon forestry? How to define criteria for high quality carbon certificates? What are the challenges to bridge supply and demand? 

 

Organisers: Anew Climate, Caritas, Climate KIC, I4CE, Cesefor, Carbon Capture Company, ECS Climate Solutions, University of Florence and Preferred by Nature

 

Date and time: The 4th of march 12.00 – 13.30 Paris time (CET/CEST) in Printworks Room

2. Global or local? Carbon certification centralisation level: What implications for stakeholders? 

The session was addressed the issue of governance scales for carbon farming certification in Europe. The CRCF offers an important opportunity to unify and improve the quality of land-based carbon projects. However, ensuring EU-wide coherence and progress while leveraging existing frameworks and engaging stakeholders remains a challenge. 

 

The results of a survey were presented and discussed. In this survey, carbon certification experts gave their views on different governance scenarios for a European certification framework. 

 

Organisers: I4CE and AC3A 

 

Date and time: The 5th of march 11.30 – 13.00 Paris time (CET/CEST)

 

3. Overcoming barriers to carbon farming projects financing: Bridging the gap between farmers and buyers through adequate framework and MRV tools 

The CRCF aims to support the EU’s climate goals while attracting both land users and certificate buyers. But aligning these interests is challenging, especially in agriculture. Agriculture struggles to secure private funding, highlighting the need for better links between farmers and buyers.  

 

This session allowed: 

  • Examine funding sources and key barriers, particularly double-claiming and value chain financing. 
  • Assess how MRV tools address farmers’ needs and mitigate double-counting risks. 
  • Bridge buyers’ expectations with farmers’ costs, reporting, and risk management. 
  • Identify key CRCF implementation considerations, including public-private funding synergies. 

 

Organisers : AC3A, Agrifood, Agrosolutions, CNRS-CESBIO, Earth Observation Association, I4CE, IETA, Nataïs, Netcarbon, Regeneration 

 

Date and time: The 6th of march 12.00 – 13.30 Paris time (CET/CEST) in Printworks Room.

    TRAMe2035 Scenario for a transition of households dietary habits by 2035

    Current food production and consumption trends contribute to a range of public health, social and environmental problems. The need for a transition is no longer in doubt: we must move towards a system that produces healthy food with a low impact on ecosystems, is accessible to all, and ensures fair remuneration for producers. There’s no denying that the questions we raise here are politically and socially sensitive, as food is deeply connected to cultural, economic, environmental and health issues. Nevertheless, it is essential to develop ways to foster open discussion. IDDRI and I4CE have therefore joined forces with several other actors to provide insights for the debate.

    In the absence of a carbon tax in Canada, measures to fill the gap are essential 

    On his first day in office, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced the elimination of the consumer carbon tax, in response to political pressures rather than evidence-based concerns about its effectiveness or impact on affordability. The tax had played a crucial role in reducing the country’s GHG emissions, and along with other carbon pricing policies, was expected to contribute nearly half of Canada’s emissions reductions by 2030. Additionally, the majority of revenues collected were redistributed to citizens, protecting vulnerable households. Thus, without alternative policies to compensate, eliminating the tax could slow emissions reductions and increase inflationary pressure, particularly for low- and middle-income families who benefited financially from the Canada Carbon Rebate funded by the tax.

    Adaptation finance in the EU: what role for insurers and other private financial institutions?

    The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has committed to presenting a European Climate Adaptation Plan in 2026. The European Commission has previously emphasised public budgets as the main source of coverage for climate-related disasters. But if both the EU’s and member states’ budgets are strained by competing investment priorities and high debt levels in some cases, what are the complementary avenues for financing adaptation in the EU? How can private financial actors, such as banks, insurance companies or asset management firms, support adaptation efforts, not only to ensure resilience (i.e. recovery) from climate disasters, but also to prevent impacts before they arrive?
