Carbon Markets Initiative
RMI is bringing greater trust and transparency to a voluntary carbon market that reduces and removes emissions in line with a 1.5°C future
Webinar – Blueprint for Better Data: Introducing the Carbon Crediting Data Framework and Its Role in the VCM
WatchAbout This Event
This was the first in a two-part webinar series introducing RMI’s Carbon Crediting Data Framework (CCDF), an open-source blueprint designed to bring clarity and consistency to project data in the voluntary carbon market (VCM). Learn more about the second webinar, which brings in stakeholder perspectives, here.
This session covered the foundational concepts behind the CCDF. The VCM holds tremendous promise to scale climate finance, but progress is slowed by scattered, static, and hard-to-trust project information. The CCDF creates a common language and standardized data format that can move the market toward greater transparency and interoperability.
This series was tailored for stakeholders who work with carbon market data systems and want to better align how project is standardized, assessed, and shared. Whether you’re a data expert, technical specialist, project developer, buyer, or VCM service provider, you’ll:
- Gain technical insights into how the CCDF works
- Hear stories from active users
- Join a growing community shaping how the market uses data to deliver climate action
