On Thursday, February 15, at 11:00 am ET, Verra held a stakeholder update webinar about our forest carbon strategy.
Forest conservation and management play a key role in reaching global climate goals, and carbon markets can drive much-needed finance to projects that avoid or reduce deforestation or implement sustainable forest management. Robust forest carbon methodologies enable the issuance of high-quality carbon credits.
In this webinar, Verra’s Forest Carbon Team provided an overview of Verra’s strategy for the various forest carbon methodologies under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Program. We discussed our vision and goals for this work. We also shared information about the continued rollout of the new REDD methodology (VM0048 Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, v1.0) and other forest carbon methodology updates.
