Title: If you can’t measure, you can’t manage: Using Bonsucro’s climate tools to measure and manage climate actions and commitments in sugarcane

Thematic Focus and Topics:
This virtual event will explore how sugarcane producers, millers, and buyers can leverage Bonsucro’s climate tools to better measure greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, set credible climate targets, and manage their climate actions effectively. The session will highlight the role of measurement in driving decarbonisation strategies and increasing climate resilience in sugarcane supply chains. It will also introduce new and updated features of Bonsucro’s GHG Calculator and the target-setting Bonsucro ClimateCane Tracker tool, offering practical guidance on how to use these tools in alignment with sustainability goals.

Key topics include:
• The importance of measurement and monitoring in climate action
• How to use Bonsucro’s GHG Calculator for emissions tracking
• How to set science-based mitigation targets in sugarcane using Bonsucro’s ClimateCane Tracker
• Case examples of climate action from sugarcane value chain actors
• Q&A and discussion on implementation challenges and opportunities

Outline Agenda & Speakers:

• Build awareness and capacity around Bonsucro’s climate tools
• Demonstrate how accurate data and practical tools can support climate strategies
• Foster knowledge exchange among practitioners in the sector
• Encourage integration of climate risk and emissions management in decision-making processes

Participants will leave with:
• A clearer understanding of how to use Bonsucro’s tools for measuring and managing climate performance in sugarcane
• Insights from real-world applications of climate strategies in sugarcane
• Practical next steps for advancing climate commitments within their own organisations
