The International Carbon Registry (iCR) has announced that all projects listed on its registry will now be required to have an independent MSCI quality rating and a Kita risk assessment. This initiative aims to provide buyers with consistent, defensible information on credit quality and risk, moving beyond self-assessment. MSCI will grade projects on a D-to-AAA scale across six criteria, while Kita will provide insurance-grade underwriting of potential risks. This integration ensures independent third-party evaluation for every project, enhancing market transparency and comparability.
