Voluntary carbon credits enable organisations to offset unavoidable emissions, prepare for forthcoming regulations and align with evolving stakeholder expectations.
The Voluntary Carbon Market, upon which credits are exchanged, presents a further opportunity to bridge the annual $600 - $800bn (est) financing gap to combat biodiversity loss and climate change.

The Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) enables businesses, governments, and individuals to purchase carbon credits to offset their emissions. Carbon credits can be seen as a company’s voluntary tax on their emissions, channelling funding into projects that reduce or remove carbon from the atmosphere.
Amidst the flurry of media attention surrounding clean cookstove projects, it is essential to consider a full range of standpoints to ensure that we focus on continuously improving the quality and integrity of carbon projects. Scrutiny drives change, and with it, the voluntary carbon market can continue to deliver climate finance to initiatives that go beyond emission reductions and offer meaningful benefits to communities.
With Article 6 developments set to drastically affect views on quality and integrity in the VCM, now more than ever it is essential to gain an understanding of what exactly Article 6 is, how the VCM is involved, and why it is so important.
