Verra approves Artio insurance policy for VCS durability pilot

Carbon credit registry Verra has authorised an insurance policy from Artio for its durability pilot, expanding reversal risk management options for project developers. The Artio product meets all technical criteria for the pilot and is available to eligible Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Programme projects. Project proponents must receive Verra's authorisation before engaging with Artio. Launched in December 2025, the durability pilot allows financial instruments like insurance as alternatives to traditional pooled buffer accounts for Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Use (AFOLU) and Geological Carbon Storage (GCS) projects.
