Webinar on “Financing European carbon farming: addressing the demand challenge” available

As part of the CAFAMORE project, Agrosolutions and I4CE are bringing together stakeholders interested in the financing of carbon farming. The webinar, the first directly organised by the project, aimed to better understand the drivers and barriers to the development of demand for certificates under the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation. The webinar took place on October 6th and was particularly aimed at demand-side stakeholders, including actors involved in the voluntary carbon market (VCM), as well as stakeholders exploring Scope 3 in-value-chain approaches to support carbon farming.

The webinar included a presentation of the market stakeholder mapping and the main factors that may drive or hinder demand, based on the project’s work, followed by an insight from Valeria Forlin (DG CLIMA) on the Buyers’ Club and the challenges related to its implementation. The webinar concluded with a roundtable discussion featuring Michael Poncet (Livelihoods), Michele Rumiz (South Pole) and Alexandre Juan (AXEREAL), who shared their experience of the challenges encountered in developing carbon projects and their views on the conditions needed to foster demand for agricultural carbon credits.
