Implementation Workshop: The Global Carbon Harvest Alliance
Join us for the official launch and implementation workshop of the Global Carbon Harvest Coalition at COP30 in Belém, Brazil. This new initiative is the direct outcome of the COP30 Action Agenda’s Plan to Accelerate Solutions (PaS) titled Carbon Removal and Resilience through Agriculture—part of Key Objective 8 (Land Restoration and Sustainable Agriculture) under Axis 3: Transforming Agriculture and Food Systems.
Co-developed by KO8 Activation Group members including the ERW Field Data Partnership, the Energy Transitions Commission, the 4per1000 Initiative, and CGIAR / Alliance Biodiversity & CIAT, Carbon Harvest brings together Brazil, India, Kenya, and international partners to unlock agriculture’s massive potential for carbon removal, climate resilience, and food security.
Agricultural carbon removal methods—including biochar, soil organic carbon enhancement, and enhanced rock weathering—can remove gigatons of CO₂ annually by mid-century while boosting crop yields and strengthening farmer resilience. However, fragmented research and policy gaps continue to hinder progress at scale.
This 60-minute session will:
Introduce the pathways and promise of leading carbon removal and resilience pathways for agriculture.
Announce founding commitments from Brazil, India, Kenya.
Present the coalition’s multi-year strategy for breakthrough progress across research, MRV, and policy.
Feature an interactive discussion with government leaders, research institutions, and the XPRIZE Foundation on scaling impacts by 2030.
Hear from senior representatives of Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MAPA), the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), Kenya’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development (MoALD), CGIAR / Alliance Bioversity International-CIAT, the XPRIZE Foundation, and Gonzalo Muñoz, former COP25 High-Level Climate Champion.
Join us for the next leap in agricultural climate action: implementing solutions that deliver carbon removal, food security, and climate resilience—together.
