Carbon Market Policy
We help build carbon market frameworks that hold, and translate carbon market rules into tangible implementation options: advising on host country Article 6 readiness and strategy, eligibility and integrity criteria, organising policy dialogues and observing Article 6 negotiations. Evidence first, and we never invest in or trade credits ourselves.
We advise carbon market actors on carbon market readiness and implementation, help build the integrity frameworks that buyers and sellers of carbon credits need and bring evidence into the policy dialogues and negotiations that shape international carbon market rules.

The rules side of carbon markets. We advise governments on carbon market readiness and authorisation strategy. We build the eligibility and integrity criteria and the institutional arrangements that make a national framework credible, assess the environmental and social integrity of carbon credit cooperation, and support the Article 6 negotiations and policy dialogues where the international rulebook takes shape.
