ICVCM publishes guide for policymakers on using Core Carbon Principles

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) released a new guide, 'Module 2: Building High-Integrity Carbon Markets', for policymakers on 9 November 2026. The guide explains how the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) can establish a global integrity threshold for carbon credits, regardless of their origin or use, including for Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. It notes that 13 carbon-crediting programmes are CCP-Eligible and 47 methodologies are CCP-Approved, with 120 million credits issued from 30 countries approved to use the CCP label. Governments can now apply for CCP assessment of their own crediting programmes, a decision made in December 2025 by the Integrity Council's Governing Board. This allows countries to develop localised approaches while seeking international recognition for their credits.
