Verra sets the world’s leading standards for climate action and sustainable development. The Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) is the most widely used GHG crediting program. The Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standard (CCB) indicates that a project mitigates climate change, supports local communities, and protects vulnerable species.
