Scaled-up Carbon Market Mechanisms

We are developing scaled-up solutions on the basis of our hands-on experience with the development and management of 200 carbon credit projects in 25 countries, 10 programmatic activities and 300 related consultancies drawing on the experience of 70 carbon market professionals in 10 key developing countries in all world regions.

South Pole offers a wide range of services to support governments and the private sector with advisory services as well as the design, development and operation of such scaled-up schemes under existing voluntary market frameworks (such as the VCS or GS), international compliance standards (i.e. CDM incl. PoA) and new market mechanisms.
