Navigating Jurisdictional REDD+: A Ministry Playbook for Corresponding Adjustments

Pricing strategies on carbon markets

A group of economists and other experts from the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) released a joint guide called “A Ministry Playbook for Corresponding Adjustments – Pricing strategies in carbon markets” outlining an initial set of key considerations to give confidence to national governments when evaluating complex tradeoffs between selling carbon credits in the Voluntary Carbon Market (VCM) or authorizing Corresponding Adjustments (CA) credits in compliance mechanisms.

The guide aims to help countries with pricing strategies to maximize financial resources from the sale of carbon credits to reach their own economic development and climate goals while upholding the integrity of the Paris Agreement.
