The Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative (VCMI) launched a new guide on 20 November in Belém for developing high-integrity carbon projects in the Brazilian Amazon. Produced with the state governments of Acre and Rondônia, the guide outlines best practices for ensuring credibility and sustainability in carbon finance projects within the region. It aims to support quality nature-based solutions that attract higher prices and generate more finance for forest-based communities. The guide also provides direction on engaging with the Brazilian Emissions Trading System and resolutions of Brazil's National Commission for REDD+, and emphasises land rights and free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC) for Indigenous Peoples and Traditional Communities.
