To enhance transparency, participation, and civil society engagement, Tero Carbon is pleased to announce the launch of a public consultation. This initiative invites interested parties to share their feedback, concerns, and suggestions.
Tero Carbon, the first Brazilian digital certifier of environmental assets with Amazonian origins, is making available for public consultation on Monday (19) its three programs for the environmental asset market (carbon credits and stock): Certification (Version 1.0), Methodologies (Version 1.0), and Asset Registration and Use (Version 1.0).
The initiative follows international market best practices and aims to involve the community, experts, and stakeholders in developing safe, effective, and transparent practices that will contribute to climate change mitigation, as well as to the secure use of environmental assets and prevention of double counting issues. With the release of the programs, project and methodology developers will be able to understand the process and prepare to submit information to Tero Carbon more efficiently and accurately. Additionally, along with the programs, Tero Carbon has provided a series of documents, including guidelines, templates, and tools to assist developers.
The consultation for the three programs launched by Tero Carbon will be open for a period of 30 days, inviting opinions, concerns, and suggestions from all interested parties in nature conservation and pollutant emission reduction projects.
We are committed to transparency and fostering dialogue with the entire civil society. By publishing our Programs, we believe we are taking a significant step towards leading the certification of Brazilian environmental assets, aligning with the best international practices in the voluntary carbon market.
