A white paper from SustainCERT contributing to the discussion on digital verification in carbon markets.
Carbon markets depend on the credibility of verified greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and removals. Traditional verification methods, however, are resource-intensive, costly, and slow to scale. Digital innovations are emerging as a way to make verification more accurate, efficient, and trustworthy.
This white paper introduces two blueprints for digital verification and sets out guiding principles to ensure integrity and reliability as digital approaches expand. It provides insights to help stakeholders understand:
Opportunities and challenges in applying digital verification to project types such as renewable energy and afforestation/reforestation.
Gain a clear, technically grounded perspective on how digitalization can transform verification in carbon markets—helping scale impact while maintaining credibility.
