At the ADB-convened AMM-3 establishing the 2030 Kunming Strategic Framework, Arukah was one of 5 external speakers making a statement to the 6 agriculture ministers and delegations - alongside the World Bank, Food and Agriculture Organisation, World Food Programme, and the Mekong Institute.

We shared from our biochar project in Cambodia, and encouraged broad support across the GMS for Biochar at Scale as an immediate solution to divert burning, increase carbon sequestration, and improve farming yields and farmer incomes.

Hosted by the ADB, Arukah shared alongside representatives from Mitsubishi, Pollination, the Global Green Growth Institute, and leading researchers.

We shared our experience leveraging carbon markets to unlock climate finance for smallholder farmers  - and the critical role of business models that align incentives, and digital tracking for scaling with integrity and affordability.

At the Asia Premiere of Legion 44 - a Film and Global Movement about the rise of Carbon Removal, Arukah was delighted to have the opportunity to join a post-screening panel alongside global CDR pioneers.

Whereas CDR to date has been largely anchored in the Global North and outside of Asia - We had the opportunity to discuss the rapid emergence of high quality carbon removal solutions that are immediately scalable from the rich agriculture lands of Asia and the Global South, and to share how the comparative advantages of these markets can be a critical component to global progress on CDR adoption and scalability.

Arukah joined a discussion moderated by the IPCC Lead Author on mitigation, along with a fellow founder in the biofuels space.

We shared about the power of high quality, verifiable and interoperable data to unlock Green Finance for Sustainable Development - and discussed how a Cambrian shift in access to finance is quickly emerging with new, structured and standardised data across a range of sectors from built environments (real estate) to biofuels and last-mile rural agriculture.
