CIAT/carbon-credit-4-adapt

Analysis repository for assessing technical potential and net economic benefit (NEB) of adaptation-linked carbon crediting in agriculture. Includes spatial workflows, country-level modelling (Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria), and reproducible outputs for evidence-based decision-making. # carbon-credit-4-adapt Analysis repository for assessing technical potential and net economic benefit (NEB) of adaptation-linked carbon crediting in agriculture. Includes spatial workflows, country-level modelling (Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria), and reproducible outputs for evidence-based decision-making. ## Purpose The analysis supports the development of country-specific evidence on where agricultural practices may generate: - mitigation benefits - productivity benefits - adaptation benefits - positive net economic benefit - plausible opportunities for scaling The initial country focus is: - Ethiopia - Kenya - Nigeria The analytical framework is designed to support country profiling and related spatial outputs, including maps, tables, and summary datasets. ## Scope of this repository This repository is used to: - prepare and harmonize spatial input layers - generate technical potential surfaces - estimate NEB inputs and outputs - run sensitivity and uncertainty analyses - produce intermediate and final analytical outputs - document methods, assumptions, and data dependencies This repository does **not** contain: - project management materials - meeting administration - donor reporting files - communications assets - production deployment code for a tool or web platform If a deployable tool is developed, that should be maintained in a separate repository. ## Analytical components The analysis is expected to cover five broad components: 1. **Setup and harmonization** - common grid - practice-by-data matrix - baseline layers - country-level analytical specifications 2. **Technical potential** - mitigation surfaces - productivity benefit estimation - adaptation benefit estimation - spatial integration and opportunity zoning - uncertainty analysis 3. **Net Economic Benefit (NEB)** - framework definition - cost estimation - adoption assumptions - spatial NEB calculation - sensitivity analysis 4. **Scaling and interpretation** - alignment with feasibility …
