Are you concerned that pushing a strong mitigation agenda will undermine the agricultural sector’s competitiveness and limit trade? Are you looking for practical solutions to measure GHG emissions and removals in a cost-effective and credible way? Do you wonder whether climate action will compromise progress on other SDGs or lead to exclusion of smaller producers?
We were at COP28 to explore how sustainability standards are offering a credible and inclusive approach to driving climate action in Forest Land and Agriculture sectors.
Confirmed speakers include:
- Margaret Kim, CEO, Gold Standard
- Elena Schmidt, CEO, The Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB)
- Danielle Morley, CEO, Bonsucro
