Carbon Credit Verification overview

Verifies carbon credit projects against registry standards and additionality criteria -- reviewing project design documents against Verra VCS or Gold Standard methodologies, validating baseline emission scenarios and monitoring plans, auditing measurement data quality from on-site sensors and remote sensing sources, assessing permanence risk buffers and leakage accounting, cross-checking issuance volumes against verified emission reductions, evaluating co-benefit claims (biodiversity, community impact) against SDG indicators, and reconciling credit retirement records with offset claims. Produces verification opinion report, credit issuance recommendation, and data quality assessment. Excludes carbon project development.
