Unlocking the Potential of REDD+: Aligning High-Integrity Credits with Article 6

​The session will outline how high-integrity Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) can be incorporated into international compliance markets as a powerful tool to accomplish the goals of the Paris Agreement. Using the bilateral cooperation between Peru and Singapore as a core case study, the event will explore how Verra's new VM0048 methodology can meet strict sovereign buyer criteria for ITMOs by ensuring a jurisdictional-like foundation—aligning project-scale baselines with national risk maps—and delivering compliance-grade rigor through its ICVCM Core Carbon Principles qualification. As an early adopter of VM0048, Mitiga will share on-the-ground challenges, market opportunities, and insights on navigating relationships with both host and buyer governments.
