This session is designed to help you understand and identify better ways of quantifying and tracking land use change emissions in order to report reductions. Join 3Keel founding director, Richard Sheane, consultant Jack Walton and Xavier Bengoa of land use and land use change specialists AdAstra Sustainability.
Context
Deforestation and habitat conversion can be a significant source of Scope 3 emissions for businesses operating in food, apparel and consumer goods sectors.
Quantification of these land use change emissions are required under the major greenhouse gas accounting standards and achieving emissions reductions will be critical for businesses seeking to meet nature and climate targets.
However, land use change accounting is one of the most technically complex areas of ESG reporting – with a variety of evolving methods, standards and data sources to navigate.
This webinar covers
- Introduction to land use change emissions – key emissions sources, calculation approaches, data sources and accounting methodologies (including GHG Protocol & SBTi FLAG guidance)
- Exploration of key challenges/risks when quantifying LUC emissions in supply chains with deforestation and conversion free policies/mechanisms
- Introduction to innovative LUC data solution, Orbae, enabling businesses to better quantify and report LUC emissions in corporate and product carbon footprints
- Q&A session with LUC experts
Who should watch?
This webinar is primarily aimed at those working in sectors that have agricultural supply chains who:
- Want to understand how to quantify land use change emissions in supply chains or in farming operations
- Are implementing deforestation- and conversion-free supply chains and need to understand how implementation of these policies are reflected in corporate Scope 1, 2 & 3 GHG inventories
- Are setting or have set corporate emissions targets (e.g. SBTi), and are exploring the potential to report LUC emissions reductions as part of that commitment.
