Verra Registry Overview

The FCPF Standard is a carbon crediting standard of the World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), for the quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas emission reductions from REDD+ activities at the jurisdictional scale.

The FCPF has a two-decade track record of supporting countries to develop their national REDD+ frameworks and develop robust and inclusive jurisdictional-scale Emission Reduction Programs, that could generate high-quality and high-integrity carbon credits. The FCPF Standard is designed to achieve climate action at scale by helping countries and the private sector to achieve mitigation goals under the Paris Agreement.

The FCPF standard is consistent with UNFCCC decisions including the Paris Agreement, the Warsaw Framework, and the Cancun Safeguards.

The BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (ISFL) is a multilateral facility that promotes and rewards reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) Emissions and increased sequestration through better land management, including Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), climate smart agriculture, and smarter land use planning and policies. The ISFL aims to catalyze the development of a low-carbon rural economy in each of its program areas that will simultaneously result in livelihood opportunities for communities and an overall reduction in GHG Emissions from the land.

The ISFL has a decade track record of supporting countries to develop robust and inclusive jurisdictional-scale Emission Reductions Programs, that can generate high-quality and high-integrity carbon credits. Carbon credits from these programs are assessed against the ISFL Emission Reductions Program Requirements which is a carbon crediting standard for emission reductions generated from agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) activities at the jurisdictional level.

The ISFL Standard consistent with the UNFCCC decisions namely Warsaw Framework, and Cancun Safeguards, and is designed to achieve climate action at scale by helping countries and the private sector to achieve mitigation goals under the Paris Agreement.
