DescThe Climate action reserve is an international carbon offsets program focused on ensuring environmental integrity of GHG emissions reductions projects to create and support financial and environmental value in the North American Voluntary Carbon Market, the California Cap-and-Trade program, and international cap-and-trade programs. It does this by establishing high-quality standards for quantifying and verifying GHG emissions reductions projects, overseeing independent third party verification bodies, and issuing carbon credits generated from such projects and tracking the credits over time in a transparent, publicly-accessible system. These standards not only ensure the environmental integrity of using offsets, but they also bring credibility and efficiencies to the carbon market by creating a trusted and valued commodity.Desc

In 2017 the Climate Action Reserve successfully hosted the 15th annual Navigating the American Carbon World Conference in San Francisco. Over 500 climate professionals gathered for information, discussion and networking to advance market-based solutions to climate change.

The Climate Action Reserve also regularly hosts workshops, presentations and seminars on a variety of climate policy topics including carbon markets.Desc
