Advancing global Savanna Fire Management at ICIN’s flagship forum

Corporate Carbon Group is a Silver Sponsor of this year’s ICIN forum.

This week at the Indigenous Carbon Industry Network Savanna Fire Forum in Darwin, delegates will discuss the global progression of a new Savanna Fire Management methodology grounded in First Nations fire stewardship, following its entry into public consultation.

Two parallel methodologies are now progressing internationally: one under the voluntary carbon market through Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard Program, and a second under the United Nations Article 6.4 mechanism for compliance markets.

The draft Methodology for Savanna Fire Management, developed by Maki Planet Systems in collaboration with partners including the International Savanna Fire Management Initiative (ISFMI), the Darwin Centre for Bushfire Research (DCBR), Indigenous land managers and technical experts, is now open for public consultation under the Verra Verified Carbon Standard Program. The consultation will run through to 20 March 2026.

Savanna Fire Management in northern Australia is built on tens of thousands of years of Indigenous fire knowledge and cultural practice. Modern carbon methodologies now quantify the emissions reduction and sequestration benefits of early dry season burning.
