[Act on the Climate Gap]
🌍 On this #Earth Week 2024, it's clear that we need to take urgent action to address our Climate Challenge. According to the IPCC Climate Change synthesis report (2023), National Defined Commitments (#NDCs)for mitigation policies, pledges and pathways to limit warming to 1.5°C during the 21st century is falling short of targets to reach 57 gigaton CO2eq by 4 to 7 gigaton CO2eq projected today for 2030 - what is called a growing "implementation gap." We are in a race. And we need as many drivers as possible.
ORMEX is a new Standard and Registry that enables and commercializes scaled and fair progress in Regenerative Agriculture. This natural technology is a powerful tool for sequestering carbon, promoting biodiversity, and producing nutrition-dense crops🌽. It also generates new economics and offers greater human and planetary resiliency.
Despite its many benefits, Regenerative Agriculture is not yet widely recognized. However, carbon sequestration in agriculture represents an estimated 3.5 gigaton of CO2eq per year according to the IPCC_AR6, as a potential contribution to net emission reduction by 2030. As we embrace this natural technology, carbon sequestration and mitigation are happening now and will continue to do so with greater confidence.
Corporations must establish #NetZero paths, project developers must commit to scaled and diversified efforts in agriculture, and investors and consumers need to be more informed to tackle our Climate Challenge. ORMEX is a robust collaborator to help activate these efforts at large scale.
Join us in our mission to enable Regenerative Agriculture as a climate solution at scale and availability unlike many.
