What do we mean by verified carbon market?
The Verified Carbon Market (VCM+) refers to the entire ecosystem of carbon crediting, across both voluntary and compliance markets, grounded in high-integrity verification.
VCM+ recognizes that today, the lines between voluntary and compliance markets are converging:
Systems
Governments and regulators are increasingly incorporating voluntary credits into compliance frameworks.
Oversight
Buyers face rising expectations for credit quality, claim transparency, and third-party assurance—regardless of whether participation is voluntary or mandated.
Trust
Market trust hinges not on who is buying credits, but whether those credits are verified, additional, and equitable.
