Welcome to PD Forum

The accumulation of in-depth technical knowledge and broad experience that our members have with global instruments such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), Voluntary Standards and Climate Finance, as well as with country specific initiatives, make PD Forum a unique platform and stakeholder for discussions around the reform of existing, and the creation of new policies and mechanisms to mitigate climate change. Based on our long term experience we are analysing the development of the rules and procedures arising from the Paris Agreement for new Sustainable Development Mechanisms under Article 6 and we are informing how these regulations may fit to Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM).

The PD Forum shares the IC VCM’s goal of delivering “high-quality carbon credits that create real, additional and verifiable climate impact with high environmental and social integrity”.

Verra’s Approach to Third-Party Crypto Instruments and Tokens - Comments from Project Developer Forum

Sep 19, 2022

Given the lack of information, we can only assume the purpose of permitting VCUs to be traded as crypto instruments is to encourage speculative retail investment in the carbon market. Some of PD Forum members are excited by the possibility of increased demand for VCUs, but others are concerned that the risks (of encouraging retail investment) will outweigh the benefits.
