Across the world, projects using the VCS Standard have issued more than 120 million offsets.

A.1.2 Project Co-Benefits Programs State of the Voluntary Carbon Markets 2013 87 Climate, Community & Biodiversity Standards – CCB Standards (2nd edition, 2008) The CCB Standards are project-design criteria for evaluating land-based carbon mitigation projects’ community and biodiversity cobenefi ts. As a co-benefi ts only standard, GHG reductions must be verifi ed against another underlying carbon standard. Transaction volumes below are from carbon projects tagged with CCB certifi cation. In 2012, CCB and the Verifi ed Carbon Standard introduced a joint project approval and offset issuance process.

SOCIALCARBON is another “stacking” standard to be paired with a carbon accounting standard.
