Introduction
Complementary to our core advocacy work, IETA also runs initiatives to support carbon market development.
These initiatives include industry-led dialogues to support countries and the private sector engage with carbon markets to achieve their NDCs and increase ambition via our Business Partnership for Market Implementation (B-PMI); modelling the impacts of Article 6 in conjunction with researchers from the Center for Global Sustainability at the University of Maryland; promoting best practice in the voluntary market via the International Carbon Reduction and Offsetting Accreditation (ICROA) programme; with the World Bank and the Government of Singapore, pioneering a decentralised metadata platform to bring more transparency to the carbon market; and working with industry and and experts to develop high-level criteria for a set of principles to govern the development of tradable reductions and removals using technology-based carbon sink enhancements.
