Document Details:

This report lays out key developer-level observations and discuss possible implications for the voluntary carbon markets (VCM).Unlike other research reports, it has looked at the voluntary carbon market (VCM) through the lens of the carbon project developer, putting aside any project- or registry-specific profiling. Data sources include the Berkeley Carbon Trading Project and Abatable's proprietary data. Key observations are based on conversations with a network of project developers over the last year.
