Explore the range of projects eligible for validation/verification, prioritising quality and adherence to credible standards for positive environmental, socioeconomic and climate impacts.
The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector contribute to almost 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest emitting sector after energy, with emissions projected to rise.
The projects we evaluate primarily focus on nature-based solutions, such as Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) or Improved Forest Management (IFM) activities. We work with globally recognised standards including Verra (VCS and CCB), the Gold Standard and Plan Vivo.
Nature-based solutions represent close to 50% of the Voluntary Carbon Market. This involves forestry, agriculture, grasslands, wetlands, and livestock & manure. |
