Climate plan and carbon sequestration

Strategy and vision

Climate plan and carbon sequestration

A climate action plan connects measurable emission reduction with carbon removal and carbon sequestration. The aim is a practical plan for organisations or areas, based on a clear baseline, science-based targets and substantiated climate opportunities.

Climate action requires more than lower emissions. A climate plan connects reduction with carbon removal and carbon sequestration, using measurable targets so climate opportunities can be substantiated and prioritised.

Reduce and sequester

Measure

Map emissions according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol).

Reduce

Set measurable targets, aligned with science-based targets.

Sequester

Use carbon removal and carbon sequestration as additional opportunities, substantiated through the carbon sequestration market exploration.

The approach

1Map emissions and the baseline situation.
2Define reduction targets aligned with science.
3Explore opportunities for carbon removal and carbon sequestration.
4Develop a climate action plan with measurable targets.

Frequently asked questions

What is a climate action plan?

A climate action plan translates the baseline situation into measurable reduction targets and concrete actions, supplemented by opportunities for carbon removal and carbon sequestration.

What is carbon removal?

Carbon removal takes CO₂ out of the atmosphere and stores it in soil, biomass or materials, for example. It complements emission reduction, but does not replace it.

What is the difference between net zero and regenerative climate action?

Net zero aims for a balance between emissions and removals. A regenerative approach goes further by steering towards restoration and added value.

How does carbon sequestration fit into a climate plan?

Carbon sequestration functions as an additional opportunity after reduction targets have been defined. It connects climate action with soil, biomass, materials and area-based value creation.
