Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market — Core Carbon Principles

DefinedTerm · CreativeWork

The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (ICVCM) published its Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) in July 2023 — a global benchmark for high-quality carbon credits. Ten principles across governance, emissions impact, and sustainable development: robust MRV, additionality, permanence, no double-counting, SD co-benefits, and registry transparency. CCP-approved credit categories and programs (assessed from 2024) command a significant market premium. Major corporate buyers (airlines, tech companies) are moving purchasing to CCP-eligible credits only.
