Knowledge Sharing
Ground-Truthed Best Practices & Innovations
To accelerate the transition to a climate-positive wine sector, IWCA raises awareness of the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the viticulture community — critical to preserving our increasingly fragile future.
Most importantly, we facilitate knowledge sharing to help wineries take tangible action.
Through virtual workshops and dialogues that IWCA organizes for our members, we dive into the practical ins-and-outs of emissions reduction strategies. Our goal is to amplify actionable solutions that have a measurable impact on wineries' direct and indirect carbon footprint.
Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) Compilation Project
As wineries worldwide accelerate their climate strategies, SOC sequestration has emerged as a critical
pathway for reducing emissions and enhancing vineyard resilience. Yet the sector has long lacked
standardized methodologies and consensus-based approaches necessary for ISO14064 validation and
integration into corporate carbon inventories. IWCA’s new compilation directly addresses this gap.
Working Group: Carbon Removal and Soil Health Measurement
This Working Group explored different carbon removal frameworks and their common points with the IWCA science-based standard.
Our initiative is a direct response to the industry's search for science-based practices, which are instrumental in helping wineries move closer to
achieving Net Zero.
SPOTLIGHT ON
Regenerative Agriculture & Soil Health
We compiled a practical report that details the practices that IWCA member wineries are implementing to promote soil health and vineyard carbon sequestration. This report also summarizes existing research on quantification of carbon captured and the permanence of sequestered carbon.
Demistifying Climate Action
IWCA member wineries across the world are implementing a variety of strategies to tackle their GHG emissions — changing practices within their own businesses and across their value chains.
Looking for examples and inspiration? Every year, we spotlight our wineries' climate actions in our annual report.
