Emerging technologies and innovation are enabling lower cost accounting that could help investors better demonstrate performance toward climate and soil health impacts. Unlocking finance to better support soil health and carbon sequestration could be transformative for food systems and the climate.The event will bring together leading expert investors and donors with soil carbon accounting and implementing organizations, to share experiences and develop solutions for enhanced investment and SOC accounting. The web seminar is free and open to the public.Thank you for sharing this announcement widely with your networks.Panel speakers* | 10 September, 10am-1:15pm EDT *Session 1 - The need for soil carbon accounting* Identify needs of finance community and issues in linking finance and soil carbon accounting *Ciniro Costa* Jr., CCAFS *Deborah Bossio*, The Nature Conservancy *Martien van Nieuwkoop*, World Bank *Keith Paustian*, Colorado State University *Session 2 - Soil carbon accounting frontiers* Learn from emerging experiences linking investment and soil carbon accounting Verra <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fverra.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828717715&sdata=7EwcXCvnUgngZMoARX%2BMfwZWVKNpOCxiPxMGePDJLFU%3D&reserved=0> | *Stefan Jirka*, Manager LandScale Indigo <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.indigoag.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828717715&sdata=GXuPwA1XRjch1LB%2BBQ%2Bce9FeX%2B5RL6tmrvC%2BVqkSHV8%3D&reserved=0> | *Dan Harburg*, Director Dagan, Inc <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.daganinc.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828717715&sdata=ZGTYhaJiMUPXmOEYzIoWRJ4guRUm9PvRFtH5hNu2J7w%3D&reserved=0> | *William Salas*, President of Dagan, Inc Nori <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nori.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828727670&sdata=QoDxl0cn7f1C72kcwuFYiAXfdutE99Et%2Fb1BZEDKt0Q%3D&reserved=0> | *Aldyen Donnelly*, Director of Carbon Economics Ecosystem Services Market Consortium <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fecosystemservicesmarket.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828727670&sdata=jTGP7W%2BxTB%2BQTT9GkSBLLNe4KMwaFgd2e%2FeDNllMtRo%3D&reserved=0> | *Debbie Reed*, Executive Director Carbon Farming Initiative <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.legislation.gov.au%2FDetails%2FF2018L00089%2FExplanatory%2520Statement%2FText&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828737628&sdata=7AVFcD81O4bEIol921jlQvde6B5VjWDm3s8WrR1m9nM%3D&reserved=0> | *Beverley Henry*, Institute for Future Environments-QUT Bayer: Climate Field View <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fclimate.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828737628&sdata=fPOxX3OkFZ3NYPlMj6KUITKGPj%2BvEPLR2SZzKK%2FIJKg%3D&reserved=0> | *Klaus Kunz*, Head of Sustainability and Business Stewardship at Bayer Crop Science RECSOIL <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.fao.org%2F3%2Fi7235en%2FI7235EN.pdf&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828737628&sdata=auyUnJ%2FMAXS9GR%2FVJ1hdVW1R%2F6FXNTUM%2BztNVVstftk%3D&reserved=0> | *Ronald Vargas*, Global Soil Carbon Partnership, FAO *Paul Luu*, 4per1000 **Speakers list subject to change* *Presentations will be available in a web repository* More about the event: - Event page with full agenda: https://wiki.afris.org/display/4MRVW <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.afris.org%2Fdisplay%2F4MRVW&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828747582&sdata=zOHzVa9Ov3SpijaAgZ6Jlb45Pq%2B56Yln%2FLnzqlmN7oI%3D&reserved=0> - Event resource site: https://soilcarbon.weebly.com/ <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoilcarbon.weebly.com%2F&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828747582&sdata=oRFHHU8XvwACsmUb47QI%2B85NBeySGLbjn5CRk2Mx4Ig%3D&reserved=0> *Register here: **https://bit.ly/3hOTJDF* <https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F3hOTJDF&data=02%7C01%7CG-Henley%40dfid.gov.uk%7Cca8b6f63084546b73eda08d842d5da2c%7Ccdf709af1a184c74bd936d14a64d73b3%7C0%7C0%7C637332834828757541&sdata=7UQJ%2BBieScW3hr4L04q1wQSmpbQiypuby9g6Xdih1LA%3D&reserved=0> Hope to see you online!
