Researchers from the Centre collaborated to respond to a consultation on the implementation of the UK government’s principles for voluntary carbon and nature market (VCNM) integrity. Our submission drew on evidence from across the globe looking at the outcomes of carbon and nature markets, with a particular focus on nature markets.
