The Integrity Council's Continuous Improvement Work Program on Transition Credits published a report on 7 April 2026, outlining integrity requirements for transition credits, which aim to accelerate the early retirement of fossil-fuel power plants.

These recommendations will inform future development of the Core Carbon Principles (CCP) Assessment Framework for transition crediting approaches.
