The Jurisdictional Journey towards Globally Comparable Information for Capital Markets

Resource Description

This guide provides an overview of jurisdictional programs that generate carbon credits through nature-based solutions and land use activities. It catalogs and compares programs globally, highlighting readiness, crediting status, governance structures, and linkages with voluntary and compliance markets.

Why This Matters

Jurisdictional programs are essential to scaling credible nature-based carbon credits.

Key Insights

  • Maps jurisdictional programs across Africa, Latin America, Asia-Pacific, and North America
  • Programs vary in development stage—some in early design, others crediting under ART TREES or VCS
  • Includes info on scale, implementing entities, sources of finance, and carbon accounting systems
  • Supports transparency, market confidence, and informed investment decisions
  • Jurisdictional approaches aim to integrate carbon markets with broader climate and development goals
