“The Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity Initiative’s Scope 3 Action Code of Practice provides a science-aligned, practical pathway for credible action. It is not a license to delay, but a framework of integrity. It ensures carbon credits are used only where direct reductions face real barriers, and always in addition to deep emissions cuts. Developed through extensive stakeholder consultation, the Code reflects the ambition and accountability we need now. High-integrity credits are not a loophole, they are a lever of change. They can increase corporate ambition, accelerate global decarbonization, and channel urgently needed finance into emerging and developing economies. With courageous leadership and credible action, we can close the Scope 3 gap – and move closer to the safe and just future we owe the next generation.”
