CCP-Approved Methodologies

The CCP-Approved Methodologies Driving High Integrity in Carbon Markets

The Integrity Council sets the independent global threshold for what a high-integrity carbon credit looks like through the Core Carbon Principles (CCPs).

Assessments follow a two-step process: both carbon crediting programs and the methodologies used to design and implement carbon crediting projects are evaluated against the CCP Assessment criteria.
