Environmental Credit Verification

Definition

Environmental Credit Verification is the process of independently assessing and confirming that an environmental credit, such as a carbon credit, accurately represents a quantifiable reduction or removal of greenhouse gas emissions or other environmental benefits. This rigorous validation ensures the credit’s legitimacy, preventing double-counting and upholding its integrity. Verification typically involves adherence to established methodologies, data review, and site inspections. A robust verification process is essential for market credibility.
