Sounds more robust but I hope they also adopt or adhere to the high level of robustness and rigour required under the OCC's model validation and governance framework - one of the most comprehensive and rigourous in model management and governance, unlike those carbon credit models used in VCMs which to me have a long way to go! 😉🤫 : (https://lnkd.in/gzWiAPan) https://lnkd.in/gv2mPwE5

📢We are thrilled to announce the latest results of @ICVCM’s assessment process which help take us closer to a high-integrity #VoluntaryCarbonMarket.    Congratulations to the carbon-crediting programs @Verra, and @Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) that are now CCP-Eligible. ✅ Carbon crediting programs AND methodologies are being assessed for adherence to the @ICVCM’s Core Carbon Principles. Programs are actively adapting and improving their practices to meet the requirements of the Integrity Council's Assessment Framework. As we work towards building a #VCM 2.0, our assessments aim to drive consistency across the #VCM, ultimately leading to a market that delivers impact.  This announcement is in the second in an ongoing series as we continue assessing programs including Isometric, and Social Carbon along with over 100 methodologies.    🔗Read more here: https://icvcm.org/?p=4792 

💻 Interested in learning more about the two pathways for projects to change methodologies or methodology versions under the Verified Carbon Standard Program? Watch the replay of last week's webinar! Verra staff provided an overview of the two new guidance documents: 💡 Methodology Change and Requantification Procedure 💡 Procedure to Change Project Methodology through a Project Description Deviation. Verra has submitted the Methodology Change and Requantification Procedure as a VCS Program update to The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) for review. In the recording, you'll find clear, step-by-step guidance on navigating the procedural requirements for these transitions. It also features insights into the development of these procedures, providing a deeper understanding of the context and rationale that shaped them.

📢 Last week The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) confirmed that both Verra's Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and the Architecture for REDD+ Transactions (ART) program met the rigorous Core Carbon Principles (#CCPs). Proud to be one of the members of the group that helped create these principles, can’t wait to see more and more standards to be aligned with them. This is a significant achievement for the voluntary carbon market, marking a major step towards ensuring the highest levels of integrity and transparency in carbon credits. So who will be next? Thoughts? #CarbonMarket #VCM #CarbonCredits https://lnkd.in/ecYWpexc

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) announced the first carbon crediting programs eligible to use the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles (CCP) label. Here is what has been approved so far, what the programs have updated to ensure their eligibility and what is still to come.

Great interest in our Carbon Project Finder  Last week we launched our first FactFinder. It contains all voluntary carbon offset projects, credit issuances, and credit retirements listed globally by four major VCM project registries and is based on the great work by the Berkeley Carbon Trading Project.  Many have already looked at it and tried it out! We are working through the valuable feedback we received & look out for more!  The Carbon Project Finder gives you: A view on the supply-side of this important nascent market.  A view on 8.553 carbon-projects under way, globally.  Where they are located and who is responsible.  What are the financial incentives – carbon credits.  Use it – Share it – Give us feedback    🔗 Check out the details at https://lnkd.in/e_mMJ3Hc #FactZero #FactFinder #ESG #ESGdata #DataInsights #ESGsolutions #ESGstrategy #ESGinnovation #ESGrisk #DataGovernance #SustainableFinance #Announcement #Innovation #RiskManagement #sustainability #sustainablefuture #factsandfigures #transparancy #dataforgood #carbonoffsetting #carbon #voluntarycarbon #Redd+ #carbonprojectfinder  Rob De Ridder | Alexander Huetink | FactZero

Have you heard about ICVCM and it’s Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) as a way to ensure carbon credit integrity? Read more in our latest article: https://lnkd.in/eZJbPPkR Here are how CCP can make a difference in the carbon market: 🌱 Investing in projects that comply to ICVCM's Core Carbon Principles (CCPs), ensuring our contributions lead to additional, permanent, and quantifiable greenhouse gas reductions. 🌍 Promoting sustainable development in local communities through carbon credit projects involves fostering positive environmental and social impacts, including fair employment, biodiversity enhancement, and community resilience to climate change. These efforts aim for lasting benefits beyond carbon reduction alone. 🔍 Encouraging transparency, accountability, and rigorous third-party validation in carbon credit transactions ensures that each credit represents genuine emissions reductions or removals, verified through robust scientific methodologies. 🤝 Supporting ICVCM's collaboration with leading certifiers and ensuring comprehensive disclosure requirements for transparency in credit use. Let's drive the transition to a net-zero society and create a sustainable future for all.

#Disclosure is a prominent aspect of the principles issued by the #WhiteHouse earlier this week that aim to help the #VoluntaryCarbonMarkets achieve their full potential. The fourth of the seven “Principles for Responsible Participation in Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCMs)” states that "Credit users should publicly disclose the nature of purchased and retired credits." This forms part of a growing pressure from both regulatory bodies and voluntary standards to improve disclosure rates in the #VCM. Did you know that #transparency around the use of #CarbonCredits is on the rise? And that rates of disclosure often exceed expectations? Yet, with different rules across jurisdictions, things can get complex. We assess the current landscape to see how things are changing and if they are improving in our latest blog. http://ms.spr.ly/6045YiSrB
