Increasing the soil organic carbon content has a large impact on climate change mitigation. Therefore, many countries count on soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration as a land based solution, which will help them fulfil their climate targets, while increasing soil fertility and water retention. By fostering SOC sequestration and storage, agriculture can play an important role for climate change mitigation and adaptation, while ensuring food security. The last decade has seen vibrant dynamics in the field, including further scientific insights on SOC enhancing agricultural practices, improved monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) tools, farmer movements for regenerative agriculture, new legislation around soil health, as well as the integration of carbon farming in carbon markets, just to name a few. During this time, the international “4 per 1000” Initiative has been a major advocate for healthy and carbon rich soils, aiming to foster multi-stakeholder collaboration and knowledge sharing. This very first “4 per 1000” regional conference for the temperate regions, aims to bring together all kinds of actors operating in similar agroecological conditions to explore common challenges and to get inspired by creative solutions developed around the globe. Hosted by the Federal Ministry for Food and Agriculture (BMEL) of Germany, and co-organized by the international “4 per 1000” Initiative and the Federal Humus Programme of Germany, the “SoilCarbon4Climate” conference will offer a unique opportunity to gather actors from across the temperate climate zone to share insights, innovations and lessons learnt from their national and regional contexts and to delve into the recent discourse on soil health and SOC.
