"Well located, planned, designed, built and managed golf courses can be carbon sinks," Carbon Par director Edwin Roald said at the #carbonoffset #eigca2022 Conference in Reykjavik, where the world's leading golf course architecture associations signed a pledge for #climateaction.

Like our consumption, land use can emit #CO2. But land, including turf, can also store #carbon. #CarbonPar is assessing the carbon status of land used by all of Iceland’s 62 golf courses, including Hornafjörður GC in Höfn. This is the short par-3 5th. Photo by Golfsamband Íslands.

The #CarbonPar team, led by @eigca Member Edwin Roald, was delighted to help host this highly inspiring #carbonoffset climate-themed #eigcaconference2022 in Reykjavik last month, where three of the world’s leading #golfcoursearchitecture associations pledged to #climateaction.

Vatnsleysuströnd is one of Iceland’s 62 golf clubs having their land carbon status quantified through the #CarbonPar project. Here is a look back up the 7th hole, with Mt. Keilir and #Kálfatjarnarkirkja church in the background. Read more on Carbon Par at carbonpar.org

Beautiful morning on Iceland's Ring Road past #Hellisheiðarvirkjun geothermal power plant, home of the Carbfix project, sucking #CO2 from the atmosphere and turning it into stone. #climateaction #carbfix #climateemergency #carbonsequestration

Naming #CarbonPar, led by Edwin Roald, among golf's climate solutions going forward, Syngenta Golf explains how "golf courses and managed turfgrass areas could have one hugely important environmental benefit to outweigh all other costs: carbon sequestration."

Happy 30th anniversary today to Golfklúbburinn Oddur, one of more than sixty Icelandic golf clubs tracking their land carbon through the #CarbonPar project.

Our director speaking to CNN.

From our Reykjavík hq this morning. Venus and the moon. Seeing other planets makes us think about ours.

We were deeply honored to be invited to the presidential residence at Bessastaðir yesterday, to meet the President of Iceland, Guðni Th. Jóhannesson, to discuss how Iceland leads climate action in golf through our study of land carbon flows and stocks in all of its sixty courses.

Happy New Year to all and 55th anniversary to Golfklúbbur Hornafjarðar (Hornafjordur GC), a participant in our original Carbon Par research into carbon stocks, sequestration and land use emissions on all 60 golf courses in Iceland. The club was established on New Year’s Day 1970.
