It has been an incredibly busy yet incredibly rewarding month for us at Agreena, and I’ve been been put to use and kept busy throughout it.
Following my return from Climate Week NYC, the perfect place to see Agreena’s impact across the sector, I'm delighted to share that we've achieved Verra verification, successfully issued 2.3 million carbon credits, and closed significant deals.
New York is quite a flight from Denmark, but the extensive travel, numerous events and meetings with market stakeholders have truly paid off. It was particularly gratifying to be met with such a positive reception – greetings, congratulations, and high-fives – from customers, partners, advisors, and even competitors, cementing my conviction that Agreena is at the forefront of decarbonising and financing the transition of our global food supply system, with the help of some of our industry-giant partners.

Something that came up a lot were questions about my thoughts on the current US administration, and the impact on climate goals. Yes, I agree with the general consensus that it doesn’t change the climate agenda long term - but if we’re being real, it does change how hard companies are pushing short term. For that reason, it’s even more meaningful that so many companies still want ‘Agreena’ future - and I’m delighted that they are trusting us with their decarbonisation goals.
For those that weren’t there: after running up and down Manhattan more than a few times(!), here’s my download of key themes, topics and insights from the week:
Integrity is paramount: Only auditable, transparent credits that meet the highest standards will gain traction in the market.
Compliance is accelerating: The distinction between compliance and voluntary markets is increasingly blurring, which will be crucial for the future of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM).
Bridges for hard-to-abate sectors: Credible nature-based carbon is essential as a transitional solution until new technologies achieve scale.
Scale is critical: Buyers are increasingly seeking multi-year, bankable supply.
The rise of AI and affiliated technologies: Standalone climate projects relying on manual setups are no longer sufficient to meet evolving demands.
Nature-based innovations: These are vital for both cutting emissions and enhancing resilience.
Finance models that scale impact: This includes co-financing within the value chain or through future interoperability with the VCM.
Robust dialogue: Fostering connections among farmers, researchers, governments, and businesses is more important than ever.
Optimising value: We must focus on optimising value for farmers and corporates by looking at the field level, not just the farm level.

Now, back in Europe, it's onwards and upwards, as we at Agreena continue to forge partnerships with many of the excellent climate leaders I spoke to at Climate Week, and continue to create impact throughout the continent.
