General presentation: 2 years later

Paul LUU, Executive Secretary

13th June 2017


The Origin:

Where does « 4 per 1000 » come from?


4/1000 : where does it come from?

An annual increase of 4 ‰ of the world soil surface C stocks (860*0.004) would nearly compensate the annual CO2 increase of the atmosphere


Why storing C in soils?

• To Mitigate climate changeo Attenuate GHG emissions. OC can be stored in soils

for decades to milleniao Low cost negative emission technology

• To Adapt to climate changeo Soil organic matter increases water retention capacity

by soils, o decreases sensitivity to erosion

• To Contribute to food security & restore degraded soilso Major role of soil organic matter in soil fertilityo Yields stabilityo 30% world soils severely degraded (FAO - 2015)

History:

When does « 4 per 1000 » Initiative start and what does happen since?


Results of COP21 in Paris

Historical agreement: a solid foundation for international climate action

recognizing in its preamble the inclusive concept of “food security”.

Composed of 3 pillars, all including “agriculture and food security”:

The legal instrument of the agreement;

Lima Paris Agenda for Action (LPAA);

National contributions (iNDCs).

LPAA supports and promotes 70 major international multi-stakeholder initiatives for climate (on 12 topics) including 6 on agriculture among which the “4 per 1000” Initiative.


Paris declaration of intent:

• strengthen public policies, tools and actions • maintain or enhance carbon stock in agricultural soils,• encourage research programs to improve knowledge on soil-carbon

storage• assess the performance of farming techniques and methods of restoring

degraded land• support a participatory approach to build innovative solutions and their

adoption by means of training and education programs• share projects, actions, experience and results

On December 1st 2015, more than 160 signatories of the declaration

of intent (31 countries)


The 4°/oo Initiative

4 working axis organized in 2 parts

Action Plan• A multi-stakeholder platform to facilitate

partnerships• A tool to expertise and evaluate projects

based on a set of references and indicatorsScientific Program• An international research and scientific

cooperation program• A digital resources center on carbon in

soils


Goals of the 4°/oo Initiative

Increase carbon sequestration in soils as organicmatter, for:

increasing food security

adapting agriculture to climatic changes

mitigating climate change

Pursuing the objectives of sustainable developmentadopted by the United Nations.

From Paris to Marrakech: building an inclusive, effective system of governance


Results of COP22 in Marrakech

The Marrakech Action Proclamation for our Climate and Sustainable Development, makes a strong call for “all Parties to strengthen and support efforts to eradicate

poverty, ensure food security and to take stringent action to deal with climate change challenges in agriculture”.

Establishment of Global Climate Action Agenda (following the LPAA)

Important step in the structuration of the initiative “4

per 1000”


Organization:

How is organized the governance of the « 4 per 1000 » Initiative?


Declaration of intent 2 (signed mainly in Marrakech)

to build an effective and inclusive governance through a light structure without a legal personality with 4 bodies

Consultative & collaborative Body

⇒ Forum of the Partners

Decision making Body ⇒ Consortium of Members

Scientific Body ⇒Scientific and Technical

Committee

Executive Body ⇒ Executive Secretariat


Forum of all the partners

Consultative and collaborative body including any organization sharing the principles and objectives of the Initiative

The place to build partnerships and collaborations

Organized in colleges (figures 12th April 2017):• States and provinces (38)• International & regional organizations, development banks (15)• Research / training institutes and universities (42)• Agricultural producers organizations (34)• Civil society and non-profit foundations (77)• Private businesses (30)

At least one annual meeting + digital community


Consortium of the members

Decision making body including any non-profit organizations and partners without commercial goals, having signed the Declaration of Intent of the initiative

Decisions on orientation, policy, working program, budget, set of references for projects analysis and evaluation, etc.

Decisions by consensus

At least one annual meeting coinciding with the Forum + ad-hoc meetings possible


Scientific & Technical Committee

Scientific body composed of 14 internationally recognized scientists, chosen by the Consortium upon proposal of the ES

Multidisciplinary group, with a balanced composition regarding the regions of the world and gender issue

Each member has to produce regularly a declaration of interest.

Brings its scientific basis to the initiative

Several meetings per year.


propose a set of reference criteria for the evaluation of projects and actions founded on the principles and goals of the Initiative, as well as on the SDGs;

formulate advice on projects, actions and programs;

formulate proposals for the orientations of the international scientific research and cooperation program and for any cross-cutting issue;

Define, produce and/or validate the documents published in the resource center.

Orientations, deliverables & planning


Orientations & activitiesThe Initiative needs to enhance its vibilility, and to develop all the mecanisms needed to increase the exchange flow of informations, data, collaborations, finances, projects, etc.To do so, the Executive Secretariat have to :

• Organize 4p1000 meetings (Forum, Consortium, STC, regional)

• Develop cooperation on soils C sequestration potential, research & projects with existing organizations & initiatives (cartography, conferences & workshop, etc.)

• Develop a website to fulfill various objectives• Develop a communication plan• Get means to function (835 k€ for 2017)


Main deliverables for 2017

projects and actions• orientations of the international scientific

research and cooperation program• Opening of the website « 4 per 1000 » including the

collaborative platform & the resources center

• Adoption of a communication plan • Development of cooperation on SCS

Total countries including 4 per 1000, GRA, FACCE JPI, CCAFS & CIRCASA

Our vision: a better coordinated research on agricultural soil carbon sequestration spanning at least 82 countries and 85% of global research


1st Pillar. Estimating the potential

Conduct global and regional studies in order to provide or to improve estimates of the potential for soil organic carbon sequestration (or loss), its processes and co-benefits for sustainable yield and adaptation, according to a large range of land management practices.

2nd Pillar. Developing practices adapted to specific soil and climate conditions

Provide knowledge for evidence-based design and co-design of 4 per 1000 agricultural and forestry practices for soil carbon sequestration; assess their performances, as well as trade-offs and synergies across multiple objectives: climate change (adaptation and mitigation), food security, as well as other relevant sustainable development goals.

Four pillars for the international researchand scientific collaboration program (1/2)


3rd Pillar. Define and strengthen the enabling environmentAnalyze past and current situations where effective governance, institutional and organizational arrangements, public policies, including financial mechanisms, incentive and regulatory instruments have allowed to promote, perpetuate and reward relevant sustainable practices. Attention will be paid to short term, near term and long term effects, including the risk of reversibility of practices and negative direct or indirect side effects of practices at different scales on relevant sustainable development goals. Starting from this analytic review, improvements and innovations.

4th Pillar. Monitoring, reporting and verification Elaborate metrics, methodologies and tools for monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of soil carbon sequestration (farm, landscape, region, country) and food security.

(Suggestion of a fifth pillar on capacity building, education and knowledge transfer)

Four pillars for the international researchand scientific collaboration program (2/2)
