The Climate, Community and Biodiversity Standards (CCB Standards) evaluate land-management projects from early development through implementation and have been managed by Verra since 2014. They identify projects that address climate change, support local communities and smallholders, and conserve biodiversity, while promoting design excellence and reducing risk for investors and offset buyers. The standards apply to any land-management project (including REDD+ and carbon sequestration efforts) and are supported by guidance, training materials, and other program resources.
