Exciting news! The W+ Standard 🤝 Verra collaborating to highlight the importance of gender in climate projects.
Women Organizing for Change in Agriculture and Natural Resource Management (WOCAN) and Verra are seeking Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) registered projects interested in obtaining concurrent certification with the W+ Standard as well as those currently accredited in the W+ Standard and seeking to apply a (external) label to Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) generated by their project. 🌟 Key Highlights: 🌟 - VCS projects (including joint VCS and Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards (CCBS) Program projects) meeting both Verra and W+ Standard requirements are eligible for W+ labeled VCUs. - The W+ label signifies that a VCS project meets the W+ Standard, the only certification framework that quantifies, verifies, and monetizes women’s empowerment within projects and supply chains. 🗓️ Webinar Alert! 🗓️ Join us on Wednesday, July 10, 2024, at 2:00pm ET for a webinar co-hosted by Verra and WOCAN. We’ll cover the updated label guidance and the process for acquiring W+ labels for VCUs.
