- Credibility of reductions/ removals
- Contribution to the level of ambition of the Paris Agreement goals
- Consistency with long-term climate strategy
- Clear economic impact at the local level and contribution to sustainable development
- Level of ambition in the mechanism or project
- Independent assessment
2. Fit-for-purpose methodology and MRV should could start with the purpose of encouraging investment, result based finance and evolve to “market grade” methodologies with increasing data, modeling and sophistication of MRV systems:
...
- Growing interest in natural climate (nature based) solutions to meet the global goal a net zero planet by 2050
- Soil organic carbon removals can play a very important role in being part of the measures for sequestration/ removal of greenhouse gasses
- For this to happen, soil organic measures need to gain the visibility of the global community though credible accounting methodologies and MRV systems that is implementable in a cost-effective manner:
- Scalable and designed to catalyze and drive systemic change
- Accurate for capturing the results impact
- Methodology and MRV should evolve in accuracy
- Fit-for-purpose methodologies and MRV systems should could start with the purpose of encouraging investment, result based finance and evolve to “market grade” accounting methodologies and associated MRV systems.
- There is a need to consider a sequenced approach for result based payments to evolve into carbon market linked incentives

C. Suggestions from participant Piet van Asten, Olam: sees convergence around
- the The need for a hybrid approach (measure + model) to make claims
- acknowledgement Acknowledgement that (most) tropical systems are far behind on data, models, and measurement capacity (i.e. clouds & high temporal/spatial heterogeneity in small farms)
- acknowledgement Acknowledgement that prevention of soil carbon loss might require as much attention as gain -> challenges around baseline
- the The need to strengthen the financial incentive and sharing MRV costs by including other co-benefits
