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 lead capacity-building efforts. Through tailored collaboration and global expertise, we assist governments and other stakeholders in harnessing the power of the voluntary carbon market (VCM), domestic markets, and international compliance mechanisms such as CORSIA and Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to achieve their climate goals and foster sustainable development.

A number of governments mandate the establishment of a national registry for projects and issued emission reductions or removals. The following FAQs address questions related to the interoperability between national registries and the Verra Registry and the possibilities for automated data exchanges.
