ProblemProblem Statement | Description | Consequences | | Land users, particularly small-holder farmers, do not perceive the existence of carbon markets as an incentive to adopt good practices that foster Carbon markets are not attractive to farmers because effective market demand for carbon sequestration is low (low prices), opaque market participation is complicated, and transaction costs are high.

CausesCauses A5 - Carbon markets
6 | Inadequate legislation Governments do not sufficiently push the harmonization of different standards of the voluntary carbon market, the integration of the compliance and the voluntary market, the financial support for the transition phase in the AFOLU sector until being able to demonstrate C sequestration. | 7 | Unrealistic demand Demand for carbon removal must be much higher to assure impact. Polluters are not forced to pay the price for assuring the removal of all their CO2 emissions. The legal basis obliging the full elimination of exhaust gases is lacking. Demand for offsets is growing because industries, organizations, and some governments are setting 'net-zero' targets. This is likely to increase towards 2050 but there is a need to improve SOC offsets certifying. | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

N° | Critical Success Factor | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1 | Methodology for C-stock change | Develop methods to quantify carbon stock changes from soil improvement activities and improve market access. The improved methods will allow practitioners to be rewarded for their practices. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | Markets access | Ease of market access and attractiveness to landowners and managers. Assure systems that will create good incentives and are workable for them. Enable long-term visibility on the price of a ton of carbon in the long term. We need to see the carbon market as a complementary source of revenue, not as the major one. Improving market access could include aggregation methods that allow farmers to combine their efforts to reduce transaction costs and make it feasible to participate in markets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | Market intelligence | Monitor development and take stock of the situation in the different countries, of the financial solutions and mechanisms that have been put in place to support the change in farmers' practices or any positive steps for reducing greenhouse gases. Take stock of the situation in the different countries, of the financial solutions and mechanisms that have been put in place to support the change in farmers' practices or any positive steps for reducing greenhouse gases. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | Impartiality & objectivity | The neutrality of Task Force Members is of concern. Team members are likely to have direct or indirect incentives to promote the carbon market mechanisms they participate in. Maintaining objectivity during this process will be critical. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Openness to innovation | Open to innovation and out-of-the-box thinking. (Openness to innovation) Ability to identify innovative solutions to improve market mechanisms. There are new technologies for increasing SOC, new monitoring technologies … The best carbon schemes in 2030 and 2050 will not look like todays. We need to anticipate that. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
6 | Robust and efficient MRV | Robust and efficient MRV. (Robust and efficient MRV of soil carbon) Suppose sampling of soils remains too resource-intensive to monitor Soil organic carbon (SOC). In that case, we need to utilize the practical options we have the modeling of SOC with robust scientific models. Uncertainty must be dealt with through conservativeness and not be used as an excuse not to conduct projects. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7 | Foresight | Higher accuracy of climate prediction models to recognize the urgency for CO2 removal. (Successful renegotiation of emission reduction pathways) CO2 emissions and emission reduction potential have to be estimated with higher accuracy to design emission reduction pathways that lead to certificate shortage, increasing certificate prices, and a strong incentive for emission reduction and sequestration. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
8 | Co-Benefits | Include ecosystem benefits in payments for carbon sequestration. In other words, expand the value of credits to include ecosystem benefits. To price credits from nature-based solutions fairly, we must value the ecosystem benefits. Fair prices allow a practitioner to be adequately compensated, comparable to planting a forest monoculture. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
9 | Inclusiveness | Level of involvement of stakeholders in current and under-development soil carbon markets. Stakeholders in current and under-development SOC carbon markets are the ones who will have the most precious feedback on carbon schemes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
10 | Adaptation of Article 6 | Article 6 of the Paris Agreement must integrate soil carbon sequestration projects. Article 6 of the Paris Agreement must integrate soil carbon sequestration projects. "4 per 1000" must provide information to help the signatories of the Paris agreement agree on incorporating carbon sequestration projects in the compliance markets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

BarriersN° | Barrier | Description | 1 | Know-how Lack of knowledge on how to participate in carbon markets. According to countries, the compensation mechanisms may not be accessible, or the actors are difficult to identify or reach. 2 | Competition among certification companies Competition between private certification companies and 'over-selling' of short-term gains can lead to a loss of confidence for farmers. 3 | Trade with data Private companies want to hoard or sell data. Clusters of data held do not create a mechanism to develop international systems 4 | Highly restrictive procedures The procedures for carbon offset projects are long and restrictive. A carbon project to be financed takes more than 12 months. Project leaders are sometimes tired and give up along the way or do not know the right door to submit their projects. 5 | The legal hurdle for CO2 removal There is no legal basis that forces polluters to pay for the removal of CO2 emissions. There are also little diffused rewarding mechanisms for farmers that develop carbon credits at the regional and local scales. 6 Uncertainty of C-Sequestration extent | There is inconsistency and uncertainty about the actual amount of C stored in a given soil (non-harmonized MRV methods
