REDD+ Credit Quality Scores

Join the Carbon Credit Quality Initiative (CCQI) for Part 2 of our Forestry Scores series, as we release new scores assessing the quality risks of REDD+ credit types. These new forestry scores will be added to our free, user-friendly scoring tool that allows users to explore and better understand the quality risks and benefits of different types of carbon credits. Our webinar will explore CCQI’s new assessments of REDD+ credit types.

Speakers from Oeko-Institut and Environmental Defense Fund will present our key findings on the quality strengths and risks of REDD+ credits, and answer audience questions about REDD+ carbon credit quality. Founded by Environmental Defense Fund, World Wildlife Fund (WWF-US) & Oeko-Institut, CCQI provides transparent information on the quality of carbon credits.

This enables users to understand what types of carbon credits are more likely to deliver actual emission reductions as well as social & environmental benefits. Carbon credit buyers & traders can use our scores as part of their due diligence efforts. Carbon crediting programs can use our detailed assessments to improve their rules and methodologies. Project developers can use our findings to design their projects in ways that avoid specific risks.
