Working closely with Governments to Accelerate Climate Action
At Verra, we work closely with national and subnational governments worldwide to develop robust, high-integrity carbon markets. We support the design and implementation of policies and provide capacity building. Through tailored collaboration and global expertise, we assist governments and other stakeholders involved in carbon markets in harnessing the power of the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM), domestic and international compliance markets such as CORSIA and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to achieve their climate goals and foster sustainable development.
