Verra has released a minor clarification to the Verra Program Fee Schedule, v.1.0 (PDF). The Clarification to Verra Program Rules and Requirements (PDF) notes that all fees associated with the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program also apply to the VCS Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ (JNR) Framework, unless otherwise stated.
The VCS JNR Framework is the world’s first accounting and verification framework for jurisdictional REDD+ programs and nested projects and helps entities with forest-related emission reduction activities to integrate their efforts into governmental climate goals. The framework is an integrated part of the VCS Program. The key elements of the VCS Program, such as regular auditing and VCS Program fees, apply equally to JNR programs and nested projects.
For any questions about JNR Framework fees, please contact registry@verra.org. Jurisdictional program proponents should contact Verra directly if payment plans or alternative arrangements are needed.
