The private sector must play a crucial role in limiting global warming by investing in deep emissions cuts and large-scale carbon removal. However, inconsistent quality standards in carbon credits have hindered private sector participation in voluntary carbon markets. Recently, the US federal government announced the Voluntary Carbon Markets Joint Policy Statement and Principles, aiming to improve credit quality and market integrity. These principles set standards for developers and certifiers, ensuring science-based climate outcomes and encouraging private sector involvement.
