There are four metrics we use to measure carbon offset quality: baseline (reference by which we calculate GHG removal), additionality (did they occur because of the carbon credit scheme), leakage (did it cause unintended increase in GHG elsewhere) and permanence (are the reduction or removals permanent or can they be reversed). The integrity and quality of these offsets are governed by a few organisations in the VCM, namely the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market, the Stockholm Environment Institute and the Oxford Principles.
Key learning objectives:
Outline how to assess carbon offset quality
Understand who governs VCM integrity
Identify best practice questions to screen projects
