On May 2, 2022, ISDA submitted a response to the European Commission’s consultation on the development of an EU certification scheme for carbon removals. The response leverages ISDA’s previous submission to the UK’s Climate Change Committee on carbon offsets and highlights ISDA’s support for the creation of an EU carbon removal certification framework. In its response, ISDA notes that the lack of clarity about the legal nature of voluntary carbon credits (VCCs) is one of the main obstacles to creating a robust VCC market, which, in turn, will enable the development of a clear price signal for carbon and allow funds to be efficiently channeled towards emissions-reducing projects.
