SUMMARY:EO for Carbon Markets Forum 2023
DESCRIPTION:  \nBACKGROUND\n\n\n\n\nSince the creation of the first Emission Trade System in 2005 (EU ETS)\, carbon markets  (voluntary or compliance) have evolved and become an important mechanism to incentivize the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and combat climate change. Carbon credits are issued for each ton of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) that is reduced or removed from the atmosphere through projects such as renewable energy production\, afforestation\, and energy efficiency measures. These carbon credits can be traded in various markets\, including voluntary and compliance markets. \nThe effectiveness of these markets depends on the credibility and transparency of these carbon credits. The use of Earth Observation (EO) data has the potential to improve reliability\, ensure accuracy\, and bring consistency to carbon projects\, which will ultimately contribute to the success of carbon markets and GHG reduction efforts. Transparency is a critical element of carbon markets as it ensures that the claimed carbon credits are genuine and accurately reflect the reduction of GHG emissions. Verification of carbon projects is essential to establish credibility and transparency in the carbon market. \nThe use of Earth Observation can provide reliable and independent verification of the effectiveness of carbon projects\, enhancing the credibility of carbon credits traded in the market. For example\, Earth Observation data can be used to monitor and verify the carbon stock of forest projects\, track and measure changes in vegetation cover or assess GHG emissions\, support Coastal Blue Carbon activities\, among others.  Satellite EO-based Monitoring\, Reporting & Verification (MRV) systems have the potential to enhance transparency\, accuracy and reliability when carbon credits are issued. \nORGANISATION\nThis EO for Carbon Markets Forum will consist of several presentations by invited speakers on the use of Earth Observation data to improve transparency and credibility in carbon markets\, complemented by round-table discussions where participants can share their experiences and ideas on the topic. There will also be a poster session where participants can showcase their research or projects related to the use of Earth Observation data in carbon markets. \nOBJECTIVES\n\n\n\n\n\nBring together experts in the field to share their experiences and knowledge\, discuss current challenges and opportunities\, and identify best practices and innovative solutions related to the use of Earth Observation data in support to carbon markets.\nFoster collaboration and networking among participants from different sectors\, including academia\, industry\, finance \, NGOs and governments\, to promote knowledge exchange and support the development of effective and sustainable carbon markets.\nExplore the role of Earth Observation data in carbon markets and how it can improve transparency and credibility of carbon projects.\n\n\nCONTACT INFORMATION\nFor information regarding the submissions\, author instructions\, scientific committee related inquiries please contact\nEO4Society.Conf@esa.int \n  \n\nMORE INFORMATION\nPlease visit the Forum website for more detailed information https://eo-carbonmarkets.esa.int/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n
