EU implements new regulation for ESG ratings, including carbon credits, from July 2026
The European Union's ESG Ratings Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2024/3005) will bring carbon credit ratings under formal EU oversight, supervised by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), starting 2 July 2026. This framework mandates governance, independence, conflict-of-interest management, and transparent methodologies for rating providers. Providers must apply for authorisation by November 2026, with decisions expected in early 2027, and an ESMA public register will list authorised entities. The regulation formalises engagement rights for project developers and aims to differentiate high-quality credits through regulated ratings.
