Carbon farming: How big corporations are driving the EU’s carbon removals agenda
The European Commission sees itself as a trailblazer in creating an overarching framework to certify all kinds of carbon removals. The EC is promoting carbon farming as a key solution in EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework, and carbon farming is part of a rapidly growing corporate agenda. In a new report, we analyze how big corporations are driving the EU’s carbon removals agenda.
Emissions Impossible: Methane Edition
Our new report, Emissions Impossible: Methane Edition, with the Changing Markets Foundation reveals that 15 of the world’s largest meat and dairy companies emit more methane than countries such as Russia, Canada, Australia or Germany. The extent to which just these 15 companies are polluting our planet is staggering, and companies' emissions are on the rise. We're calling on governments to enact comprehensive rules to regulate the emissions of global meat and dairy corporations and support farmers in a just transition away from industrial agriculture towards agroecology.
We approach our work from a systems perspective.
IATP is a think tank that understands the interconnection between agriculture, trade and climate.
We see how interrelationships between issues within complex societal structures make it challenging to effect change but also open powerful opportunities.
We ask who has the power? Who wins and loses? Who is at the table when decisions are made?
We identify opportunities for big changes within trade, agriculture and climate policy. And we propose bold solutions that will bring us closer to our vision.
IATP organizes our work into distinct, yet interconnected areas to facilitate research, build relationships through collaboration and effect policy change. Learn more about our focus areas.
