Verra Statement on the Launch of the VCMI Claims Code of Practice

The Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) has spent considerable time developing its Claims Code of Practice, drawing from a diverse range of expert insight and experience. The Claims Code provides much-needed guidance and recognition for organizations looking to maximize their contributions to global emissions reductions. Verra welcomes the application of a science-based mitigation hierarchy that underpins the responsible use of carbon credits and helps direct urgently needed finance for climate action to both developed and developing countries.
