Intergenerational Open Geospatial Carbon Registry - Open-Source Tools for Connecting EU Agricultural Policies (CAP) and Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation to national inventories and carbon markets

Objective

The Intergenerational Open Geospatial Carbon Registry (OGCR) aims to create:
1) updateable baseline geospatial layers for soil, biomass and peat for pan-EU,
2) a hybrid modelling framework to explore management changes in CAP and CRCF initiatives, and
3) a globally applicable open geospatial carbon registry, servicing pan-EU.
We will use a genuinely transparent stakeholder co-design & consultative development process to build software interfacing between CRCF and CAP activities with mandatory and voluntary markets. Above and below ground carbon reduction and farming activities will be measured, monitored and independently verified. The system will attract both small and big landholder participation through
1) an innovative geospatial carbon accountancy framework that fairly rewards landholders for avoiding and sequestering carbon over generations,
2) applicability to all lands independent of management, and
3) easy access to geospatial information on past, present and possible future states for soil carbon, biomass and peat soils under different managements.
Geospatial hazards and risks, including those related to climate change, will be scientifically based and user accessible. Economic and environmental impact evaluations will be widely available to aid landholders and project developers to assess potential for entering the nascent EU CRCF markets. OGCR will rely on an underlying statistical unification of common MRV approaches, both direct measurement, modelled and hybrid approaches, through their uncertainty metrics; and on a socially responsible and ecologically valid economic framework for their temporal valuation through time. OGCR will be built in the open view of the stakeholder community by the open source community, under scientific supervision and iteratively developed. OGCR will be free and clear of any restrictive copyright for claims, licensed under permissive Creative Commons licenses and connected to vendored services in a free-market dynamic.
