Carbon Sequestration and Mitigation Strategies

Objective:

Explore innovative strategies for carbon sequestration in agriculture, addressing climate change impacts and fostering sustainable farming practices.

Theme :

"Sustainable Harvests, Earth's Carbon Banks: Advancing Carbon Sequestration and Mitigation in Agriculture"

This session centers on the critical role of carbon sequestration in mitigating climate change within agricultural systems. Discussions will cover practices and technologies that enhance carbon capture in soils and vegetation, emphasizing the potential of agriculture in contributing to global climate change mitigation. The objective is to highlight the significance of carbon sequestration as a sustainable farming practice and explore effective strategies for implementation.

Carbon Sequestration and Mitigation Strategies is contribution to
The Sustainable Development Goals:

Goal 13: Climate Action:
The primary alignment is with SDG 13, as the session focuses on carbon sequestration and mitigation strategies in agriculture, contributing directly to global efforts to combat climate change.
Goal 15: Life on Land:
The session also aligns with SDG 15 by addressing practices that promote sustainable land use and soil health, fostering biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Goal 2: Zero Hunger
Improved carbon sequestration practices contribute to SDG 2 by enhancing soil fertility, promoting sustainable agriculture, and supporting food security.
Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production:
The session aligns with SDG 12 by promoting responsible land use practices and sustainable agricultural production methods that minimize negative environmental impacts.
Goal 1: No Poverty:
Sustainable farming practices, including those focused on carbon sequestration, can contribute to poverty reduction by enhancing agricultural productivity and income, aligning with SDG 1.
Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation:
Sustainable land management practices associated with carbon sequestration can contribute to cleaner water systems, aligning with SDG 6.
Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals:
Collaboration and partnerships are essential for the successful implementation of carbon sequestration and mitigation strategies, aligning with the spirit of SDG 17.
