Client Perspective

The standards managed by VERRA allow us to highlight the efforts made by developing countries to address climate change. Both the VCS and CCB provide tools to demonstrate the chain of results we are achieving in terms of biodiversity conservation and benefits for local communities. This shows that tackling deforestation not only contributes to global climate change mitigation, but also generates positive impacts on local development.
