ICVCM CEO discusses Core Carbon Principles integration into national policy

Amy Merrill, CEO of the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM), stated that governments in the UK, New Zealand, and the African Union are incorporating Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) eligibility into national policy. The ICVCM's 'double-tick' system assesses carbon crediting programmes at the governance level and individual methodologies on scientific merit. Credits passing both checks receive the CCP label, which has become a reference standard for high-integrity credits. National carbon crediting programmes are now also eligible for ICVCM assessment.
