About The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM)

The Integrity Council is an independent governance body for the voluntary carbon market. Its purpose is to ensure the voluntary carbon market accelerates a just transition to 1.5ºC.

 It does this by setting and enforcing definitive global threshold standards, drawing on the best science and expertise available, so high-quality carbon credits channel finance towards genuine and additional greenhouse gas reductions and removals that go above and beyond what can otherwise be achieved, and contribute to climate resilient development.

 Its mandate has three parts:

• First to establish, host, and curate a set of Core Carbon Principles (CCPs), which will set new threshold standards for high-quality carbon credits and define which carbon-crediting programs and methodology types are CCP-eligible.

• Second, to provide governance and oversight over carbon-crediting programs on adherence to CCPs as well as on market infrastructure and participant eligibility.

• Third to help to coordinate and manage interlinkages between individual bodies; define a roadmap for the responsible growth of the Voluntary Carbon Market

•  The Integrity Council is uniquely positioned to ensure the integrity of the VCM because it is built on world-leading and globally diverse expertise from across the carbon market value chain. You can find out more about who we are at www.icvcm.org.
