🌱 Scaling the #VoluntaryCarbonMarket: Why Integrity is Key 🔑 In a new Op-Ed for TIME, our CEO Amy Merrill, along with Mark Kenber, Executive Director, VCMI and Chris Canavan, CEO, Global Carbon Market Utility, outlines the urgent steps needed to scale the #VoluntaryCarbonMarket (VCM) in a way that delivers real, lasting climate action. The VCM stands at a critical juncture. To achieve the scale necessary to address the climate crisis, we need a market that’s not only larger but also credible. The Op-Ed highlights several key areas of transformation: ➡️ Core Carbon Principles (CCPs): The Integrity Council’s science-based quality standard ensures each carbon credit meets strict criteria for emissions reduction or removal, as well as contributing to sustainable development and biodiversity. The first CCP-labelled credits are now reaching the market, providing companies with confidence in their climate investments. ➡️ VCMI’s Claims Code: A vital tool that helps businesses navigate the use of carbon credits in a responsible way, the Claims Code of Practice aims to ensure that corporates meet high integrity standards and continue to prioritise internal decarbonisation. ➡️ GCMU’s Market Infrastructure: By standardising pricing, improving transparency, and digitising the market, GCMU is laying the groundwork for a more efficient, accountable, and scalable market that can attract significant financial investment. The authors stress that collective action is needed from both the public and private sectors to ensure the #VCM reaches its full potential. 📈 Governments are recognising the importance of voluntary carbon markets, but we need more alignment, including adopting the CCPs as a standard for quality. At the same time, the private sector must step up investment to build confidence in the market, driving the financing necessary for meaningful climate action. 🌐 This Op-Ed serves as a call to action for all stakeholders: We have the tools. Now we must act—together. 🤝 🔗 Read the full article in the Time magazine - https://lnkd.in/dgEj-Rpt
