Wednesday, 4 October 15:00 – 16:00 CET

This discussion shed light on ongoing initiatives and upcoming projects undertaken the WBF, producer associations, and European authorities with regards to climate change. The carbon and water footprint (CWF) tool developed by WBF (FAO) was presented, along with its most recent developments. Several Latin American producer associations that piloted the tool in some of their farms shared their favorable feedback, stressing the importance of monitoring emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) and water consumption/degradation at both farm and company levels. A representative from the European Financial Reporting Advisory group (EFRAG) delineated the general disclosures, actions, metrics and targets that companies will soon be required to establish and comply with, as defined by the upcoming European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) E1 on Climate Change.
