VOLUNTARY CARBON MARKETS: IS THE NUANCE LOST IN THE NOISE?


Andy Turnbull
Senior Investment Manager - Federated Hermes, Investment Manager - UKNIF
Insight
8 January 2024 |
Alternatives
The integrity of some of the world’s Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) schemes is a
hot-button issue. However, we believe it’s important to understand some of the
differences in standards around the world – as well as the progress being made
towards tightening them.
Voluntary Carbon Markets: Is the nuance lost in the noise?

FAST READING

 * Recent press about global Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCMs) has, rightly,
   raised concerns about the integrity of some of the schemes available for
   investors looking to offset their carbon footprint.
 * Not all VCMs are built the same, however. VCMs endorsed by the UK government
   use a methodology based on scientific consensus and are free from
   methodological subjectivities and uncertainties, which is in contrast with
   the international schemes currently attracting criticism.
 * This means commonly cited concerns around VCMs overstatement of impact in
   other parts of the world are not relevant or applicable to the UK context.
 * The UK Nature Impact team is well aware of this nuance. Indeed, the creation
   of the strategy and its UK-only investment universe was motivated by our
   believe in the integrity of the UK methodological VCM framework.
 * We continue to monitor the situation and welcome progress on tightening
   non-UK VCM standards.
