Verra Approves Artio Insurance Policy for Use under Durability Pilot 

Verra has approved an additional insurance policy for use under its durability pilot, expanding the options available to project proponents. The policy from Artio meets the durability pilot insurance criteria and can be used by projects that are participating in the pilot and have selected the insurance-based approach to address the risk of reversals. To participate, project proponents must submit an expression of interest and receive approval from Verra.

Launched in December 2025, Verra’s durability pilot is testing innovative approaches for addressing durability in Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) projects registered in the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program. Under the pilot, project proponents can use either fund-based or insurance-based pathways as alternatives to the pooled buffer account.

Project proponents wishing to use Artio’s policy should contact them directly.
