Misiones government authorises new MOU with Verra for carbon market support

The Government of Misiones, Argentina, officially adopted a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Verra to enhance its engagement in carbon markets. Under the MOU, Verra will provide capacity-building, knowledge-sharing, and training on topics including the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) Programme, Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ (JNR) Framework, and Article 6.2. This agreement follows Verra's recent approval of Misiones' government-led forest carbon programme, the first jurisdictional REDD+ programme certified under Verra's JNR Framework. The collaboration aims to strengthen Misiones' technical and institutional capacities for forest conservation and climate finance. Pamela Kruszelnicki of Misiones' Ministry of Treasury stated the MOU reaffirms Misiones as an international example in climate action solutions.
