ICVCM Annual Review 2023-2024

Building integrity in the voluntary carbon market to accelerate global climate action

We are excited to present the Integrity Council’s Annual Review for the period of April 2023 to March 2024.

This report highlights our continued efforts to build integrity in the voluntary carbon market, setting the global standard for high-quality carbon credits. Through our Core Carbon Principles (CCPs) and rigorous Assessment Framework, we are unlocking the private finance needed for impactful climate solutions that benefit people and the planet.

The report details our achievements, key milestones, and our collaborative work with governments, regulators, Indigenous Peoples, and/or local communities. We also showcase the progress of our Continuous Improvement Work Programmes, which are helping to ensure the voluntary carbon market evolves to meet the challenges of the future.
