Alison Hardiman, Anna Hickey, Lev Gantly and Tom Conroy hosted a panel at the European Carbon Farming Summit in Dublin Castle yesterday that drew a fantastic crowd of knowledgeable and ambitious developers, policy makers and investors from across the EU and beyond. The session was chaired by Patrick FitzGerald of Hutchins Climate Capital.
Key takeaways: Carbon farming has huge potential to fight climate change, but we must carefully balance it with existing environmental laws. CRCF registries are crucial for scaling investment and can benefit from lessons learned in voluntary and Paris Agreement carbon markets. Proactive engagement with decision-makers is required to reduce administrative difficulty that will delay important carbon removal activities.
Alison, presented on the potential conflict between existing environmental laws and the CRCF Regulation.
Anna, shared lessons for CRCF registries and how climate investors can scale carbon farming.
By aligning climate finance and environmental law, Europe can lead the way in sustainable, climate-friendly agriculture.
