The State of Quality in the VCM 2024

September 20, 2024

This report from Calyx Global considers whether the VCM is ‘on track’ to raise quality and looks at the state of beyond-carbon benefits (co-benefits) for people and biodiversity. Published in June 2024, it finds that the market values beyond carbon benefits, with projects contributing to the UN SDGs capturing a significant proportion of retirements. While it concludes the market is entering its VCM 2.0 era, it recommends a stronger emphasis on the principle 'do no harm'.
