The release of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s final Land Sector and Removals (LSR) Standard marks a shift in how companies should account for land-based emissions and carbon removals across agricultural value chains. But what does this mean in practice — and how do sustainability teams move from guidance to action?
During this webinar, Pure Strategies’ Senior Sustainability Advisor, Ariella Sela, and Planet FWD Head of Science and Strategy, Miranda Gorman, shared key updates from the draft guidance to the final LSR Standard and the implications these updates have on your greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting and future GHG emissions reduction planning.
Key takeaways include:
- New expectations for physical traceability, land occupation accounting, and reporting of land-sector emissions and removals
- New requirements when accounting for emissions reductions
- How companies account for and report land-sector greenhouse gas emissions and removals from agriculture and CO2 removal technologies
- How companies track progress toward net-zero while navigating evolving requirements
With the Standard taking effect in January 2027 and additional guidance expected, now is an important time for companies to understand the implications and start to prepare.
