The private sector faces uncertainty regarding the future status of carbon credit purchases.

The private sector must play a crucial role in limiting global warming by investing in deep emissions cuts and large-scale carbon removal. However, inconsistent quality standards in carbon credits have hindered private sector participation in voluntary carbon markets. Recently, the US federal government announced the Voluntary Carbon Markets Joint Policy Statement and Principles, aiming to improve credit quality and market integrity. These principles set standards for developers and certifiers, ensuring science-based climate outcomes and encouraging private sector involvement.

Cities across the US are taking significant steps to reduce greenhouse gas #emissions. Over 600 local governments have set targets and formed climate action plans, with a strong focus on building emissions. Cities account for about 70% of GHG emissions, making them crucial to our collective #decarbonization journey. Buildings, in particular, are responsible for over 30% of total GHG emissions in the US. For example, in NYC, building emissions make up almost two-thirds of total municipal emissions. Explore how emissions management policies in New York, San Francisco, Boston, and Seattle are likely to impact businesses and the climate.
