This year’s focus is Embracing Equity – but what is Equity? To me, it’s a hard-won promise. Equity is not handed to you on your day of birth, it’s a promise you must fight for, day after day. And one we must make to ourselves with everyone else in mind.
In 2022 we launched “How to Net Zero”, a podcast which brings together industry experts and climate frontrunners to explore the challenges we face in implementing plans to achieve Net Zero. In this first season we explored with leading experts a common theme: exactly how do we make sure climate claims are credible?
To make the right switch, a redefinition of the rules and new, digital-MRV compatible requirements are necessary. SustainCERT is actively engaging with key carbon market actors drive consensus on what best-practice should look like in a digital context.
This white paper looks at the implications of digitalization for the verification of GHG emission reductions or removals. Two promising blueprints Two promising blueprints for using digital approaches to verify carbon projects are presented and assessed, resulting in a series of principles to contribute to the discussion and guide further work on digital verification.
ESMC’s program achieved project design certification, which means it aligns with the Value Change Initiative Guidanc. A subset of enrolled Eco-Harvest producers were also verified to show the reported soil carbon removals and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions are materially correct, making ESMC’s program the first Value Chain Intervention to reach this milestone of combined validation and verification in the US.
User-centric is the only approach to developing solutions that meet the needs of those who will actually use them. Seshagiri Rao from Greenko Group shares his experience on piloting our platform's digital verification & reporting capabilities.
Digital MRV is still a nascent field. This paper provides a snapshot of the state of activities, actors, opportunities, and barriers in the digital MRV space in two project types that are particularly important to current voluntary carbon markets
SustainCERT is growing, and so is our Board. We are thrilled to announce Emmanuelle Aoustin and Valerie Arnold have joined...
Beiersdorf’s Responsible Shea Supply Chain, a SustainCERT Value Change pilot, has reached validation. An important milestone that signals a value chain intervention – and its related GHG mitigation activities – has been planned according to credible guidelines and requirements and is in line with leading climate science.
A recent Innovate4Climate workshop focused on technology’s role in improving carbon accounting verification processes. SustainCERT and INFRAS explored how digitization will revolutionize emissions-reductions verification in both voluntary and compliance markets
