Collaborative decarbonisation of the UK agricultural-sector
Clo Carbon Cymru designs climate mitigation technologies and progressive land-use systems that facilitate the creation of collaborative localised economic models between farmers and local communities. These economic models are designed around the concept of ‘Carbon-Insetting' - interventions along a company’s value chain that are designed to generate GHG emission reductions and carbon storage, and at the same time create positive impacts for farmers, communities, landscapes and ecosystems. INSETTING INTERVENTIONS are typically based on new systems of farming carbon and agroforestry programmes both at farm level and through collaboration with local communities. These interventions allow companies to achieve corporate sustainability goals, whilst building climate resilience and supply chain stability at the heart of their operations, future proofing their businesses, and improving the quality of raw materials. Clo Carbon Cymru makes regular contributions to the IPCC Article 6.4 Supervisory Body, tasked with the development of frameworks where carbon dioxide removal activities become accepted as a key element of the effort to achieve net-zero. The company is also a member of The Life Cycle Initiative, hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) that promotes Life Cycle knowledge, revealing the unintended trade-offs between the social, environmental, and economic impacts of circular approaches
