A letter sent from Carbon Market Watch Executive Director Sabine Frank to the President and Interim CEO of Verra Judith Simon detailing a formal complaint related to the registration of – and issuance to – REDD+ projects under the VCS.
The letter calls on Verra to execute its grievance mechanism to address serious shortcomings in a number of REDD+ projects, providing an extensive summary in the annex.
It draws on research by the University of California (UC) Berkeley Carbon Trading Project and the associated recommendations published by Carbon Market Watch.
