About

The Verra Registry is the cornerstone for the implementation of Verra’s standards programs. It is the central repository for all information and documentation relating to Verra projects and units. The Verra Registry also ensures the uniqueness of projects and credits in the system.

Any entity wishing to register projects or issue, retire, or transfer credits must have an active Verra Registry account. Account applications may be submitted by clicking on the “Open New Account” button (top right corner of the Verra Registry site). Note that all registry account applicants will be subject to strict “Know-Your-Customer” background checks.

The Terms of Use (PDF) set out the terms on which Verra offers to make the Verra Registry (Registry) available to the user.

World Bank FCPF and ISFL Units on the Verra Registry

The World Bank’s carbon credits are underpinned by robust methodologies and standards to quantify, monitor, report, and verify greenhouse gas emission reductions from AFOLU sector (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use) at the jurisdictional scale. World Bank carbon credits are issued in its own transaction registry (Carbon Assets Tracking System [CATS]), and REDD+ countries may cancel these in CATS with the purpose of re-issuing them in the Verra registry for further transaction.

The FCPF Standard is a carbon crediting standard of the World Bank’s Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF), for the quantification, monitoring, reporting, and verification of greenhouse gas emission reductions from REDD+ activities at the jurisdictional scale.

The FCPF has a two-decade track record of supporting countries to develop their national REDD+ frameworks and develop robust and inclusive jurisdictional-scale Emission Reduction Programs, that could generate high-quality and high-integrity carbon credits. The FCPF Standard is designed to achieve climate action at scale by helping countries and the private sector to achieve mitigation goals under the Paris Agreement.

The FCPF standard is consistent with UNFCCC decisions including the Paris Agreement, the Warsaw Framework, and the Cancun Safeguards.

The BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (ISFL) is a multilateral facility that promotes and rewards reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) Emissions and increased sequestration through better land management, including Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+), climate smart agriculture, and smarter land use planning and policies. The ISFL aims to catalyze the development of a low-carbon rural economy in each of its program areas that will simultaneously result in livelihood opportunities for communities and an overall reduction in GHG Emissions from the land.

The ISFL has a decade track record of supporting countries to develop robust and inclusive jurisdictional-scale Emission Reductions Programs, that can generate high-quality and high-integrity carbon credits. Carbon credits from these programs are assessed against the ISFL Emission Reductions Program Requirements which is a carbon crediting standard for emission reductions generated from agriculture, forestry, and other land use (AFOLU) activities at the jurisdictional level.

The ISFL Standard consistent with the UNFCCC decisions namely Warsaw Framework, and Cancun Safeguards, and is designed to achieve climate action at scale by helping countries and the private sector to achieve mitigation goals under the Paris Agreement.

Multi Factor Authentication (MFA)

Verra offers a Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) option for Verra Registry users providing them with a more secure method to access their Verra Registry accounts.

What does this mean for me?

By default, all new Verra Registry users registering an account in the Verra Registry on or after 21 September 2022 will be opted into the MFA requirement. All existing Verra Registry users who registered an account in the Verra Registry before 21 September 2022 will be opted out of the MFA requirement. Both new and existing Verra Registry users may change their MFA settings at any time.
