Call for Verifiers and Monitors for CarbonPlus Methodology 🔍 🌎 We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity to join the implementation of the CarbonPlus Methodology for GHG and Co-Benefits in Grazing Systems. Developed as an open-source, open-access methodology, this framework and its regulations have been meticulously crafted through the CarbonPlus Credit Class. This initiative is part of our ongoing experimentation with open-access methodologies, aimed at maximizing transparency, accessibility, and impact in the field of carbon sequestration and ecological health. Roles and Responsibilities Monitors Responsibilities: Analyze data and generate reports for 2-3 projects in Australia, where sampling and lab analysis have already taken place (with option to expand to future sampling rounds and other projects). Utilize remote sensing data and spatial interpolation methods to estimate changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Review and report on additional ecological co-benefits such as soil fertility, ecosystem health, and animal welfare. Requirements: Proficiency in quantitative spatial analysis and remote sensing (e.g., GIS, Google Earth Engine). Background in GHG accounting and environmental monitoring. A degree in agronomics, environmental science, soil science, or biology is recommended. Opportunities: Get trained on the implementation of the CarbonPlus Methodology. Become part of our network's portfolio of verifiers and monitors, providing valuable services to future projects. Note: While data collection and lab analysis have already been performed for these projects, monitors may offer full services for new projects wishing to issue credits through CarbonPlus. Verifiers Responsibilities: Conduct independent, systematic assessments of the Monitor’s data and reports for each reporting period. Ensure compliance with the verification requirements outlined in the methodology and produce a verification report. Requirements: Expertise in soil organic carbon and agricultural GHG emissions. Proficiency in quantification methodologies. Familiarity with the regional context of the project. Recognition and reputable standing among peers. Independence from any conflicts of interest related to the project. Opportunities: Receive training on the CarbonPlus Methodology. Join our suite of service providers within the CarbonPlus network. Join Us 🤝 If your organization, startup, or you as a scientist have the expertise and interest in contributing to this pioneering methodology, we invite you to join us. This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of implementing sustainable grazing practices and contributing to global carbon sequestration efforts.

"...we are delighted to collaborate with the Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team offering them the potential to compensate for their ongoing emissions by funding domestic sequestration and, in turn, provide performance related financial reward back to the farm to incentivise their positive change”. -David Wright, Ecometric https://lnkd.in/gjr7snvS

"...In summary, the partnership with Regen Network allows our Methodology for Biodiversity Stewardship Crediting to use blockchain technology to ensure that each biodiversity credit is fully traceable, building trust between land stewards and credit buyers. This not only provides a solid foundation for credit integrity but also facilitates transparency for all stakeholders, ensuring that the positive impacts of each project are clear and verifiable....." https://lnkd.in/grg7Q6a5

Regen Network has been building for years to meet this moment. "....The Nature Restoration Law aims to restore at least 20 percent of the EU’s land and sea areas by 2030 and all degraded ecosystems by 2050. It is the first comprehensive, continent-wide law of its kind. The law sets binding targets and obligations for member states to rehabilitate their natural habitats - 80 percent of which are currently in poor condition. It focuses especially on those with the most potential to capture and store carbon...." https://lnkd.in/ejqAXxUh
