Technical Guidance for Safe, Efficient, and Interoperable Carbon Markets Infrastructure

This series of five technical guidance notes provides recommendations to countries and stakeholders for addressing key challenges related to ecosystem governance, transaction integrity, information security, data interoperability, and digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification. By offering practical tools, shared standards, and actionable recommendations, these notes aim to enhance trust, scalability, and transparency in carbon market systems. This complements global efforts and informs ongoing capacity-building initiatives worldwide. Through these notes, the Carbon Markets Infrastructure Working Group (CMI WG), convened by the World Bank, offers a follow-up to the Engagement Roadmap for Carbon Markets, bringing together over 45 entities to strengthen global infrastructure for high-integrity carbon markets.
