Verra

aid: verra-org
name: Verra
description: Verra is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit standards body that develops and manages the world's leading certification
  programs for climate action and sustainable development. Its flagship program, the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), is the
  most widely used voluntary greenhouse gas crediting program globally, with more than 2,579 registered projects across 132+
  countries and over 1.3 billion Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) issued. Verra also operates the Climate, Community & Biodiversity
  Standards (CCB), the Sustainable Development Verified Impact Standard (SD VISta), the Plastic Waste Reduction Standard (PWRP),
  the Scope 3 Standard Program, and the Jurisdictional and Nested REDD+ (JNR) framework. The Verra Registry at registry.verra.org
  is the system of record for projects, methodologies, issuances, retirements, and the AFOLU pooled buffer account across
  these programs; project documentation, public comment periods, and credit-lifecycle records are all surfaced through that
  registry. Verra recently launched VCS Version 5, modernizing program operations, strengthening safeguards, and clarifying
  credit rights. Verra does not publish a public developer API, OpenAPI specification, SDK, or GitHub organization; programmatic
  data access is limited to the registry's web interface and filtered report exports, and there is no open-source code or
  machine-readable spec catalog associated with the organization.
