This webinar is the first out of two in 2025 discussing land take and soil sealing with a diverse group of stakeholders. This first webinar will look at the challenges, conditions and solutions to mitigate land take.
However, land take including soil sealing rates have remained high predominantly

The Carbon Credit Quality Initiative (CCQI) has released new scores for the integrity risks of carbon credits from improved forest management (IFM) projects. We find that unrealistic baselines and underestimated leakage are likely to lead to significant overestimation of emission reductions or removals under all assessed methodologies. The likelihood of additionality depends strongly on the forest management practices that are implemented. The sustainable development benefits are more limited compared to most other project types.

Feasibility criteria have thus been developed in order to assess the following topics
In diesem Bericht klären wir zunächst die von stark voneinander divergierenden Ansätzen zur Definition von Senken und zugehörigen CO2-Entnahmen verschiedenen regulatorischen Kontexten, einerseits Treibhausgas-Inventaren und andererseits Zertifizierungssystemen für Entnahmeaktivitäten. Weiterhin geben wir einen kurzen Überblick über als ‚Senken‘ bzw. ‚CO2-Entnahmeoptionen‘ diskutierte Prozesse bzw. Prozessketten, die ggf. für differenzierte Senkenziele zu typologisieren wären. Wir fassen den Stand der Typologisierung von Senken als ‚natürlich‘ bzw. ‚technisch‘ in der Literatur zusammen, stellen alternative Ansätze zur Typologisierung von Senken vor und ordnen verschiedene Entnahmeoptionen in verschiedenen Typologisierungen ein. Aus der Analyse ziehen wir Schlussfolgerungen zur Differenzierung von ‚natürlichen‘ bzw. ‚technischen‘ oder anders differenzierten CO2-Entnahmeoptionen in Klimazielen: Um Doppelzählungen zu vermeiden, müssen Senkenziele, die komplementär zu Emissionsminderungszielen angelegt sein sollen
