The Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (Integrity Council or ICVCM) is an independent governance body for the voluntary carbon market (VCM).
Its mission is to ensure that voluntary carbon markets accelerate action to combat climate change. It will set and enforce a global threshold standard for carbon credit quality, drawing on the latest science and expertise available. It aims to build trust, reduce confusion, and ensure that high-integrity carbon credits efficiently mobilise finance for climate projects that would not otherwise be viable.
