In December 2025, Verra launched version 5 of its market-leading Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program, introducing its most comprehensive social and environmental safeguards and placing communities at the center of climate action.

The updated VCS Program strengthens requirements across the full project lifecycle, with a particular focus on respecting land and resource rights, reinforcing stakeholder engagement, and enhancing adaptive management.

In this webinar, we provide an overview of the updates, discuss the next steps, and answer your questions.
