This report summarises key aspects (such as additionality, double counting and permanence) that should be accounted for in the design of policy instruments to support the implementation of climate-friendly soil management measures. It outlines overarching aspects that need to be considered for any type of policy instrument. Furthermore, aspects that are relevant for all types of results-based funding schemes are elaborated upon.
