Purpose of this survey
The Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) has published this Consultation Report outlining a proposed set of Good Practices (Good Practices) to promote the integrity and orderly functioning of Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCMs). These are addressed to relevant authorities and market participants and look to offer support to/in jurisdictions that have established or may be seeking to establish VCMs.
This Consultation Report follows the Discussion Paper that IOSCO published in November 2022, which aimed to advance global discourse regarding what sound and effective VCMs should look like and what role financial regulators may play in promoting integrity in those markets. The 2022 Discussion Paper included Key Considerations for regulatory authorities and market participants to foster sound and effective VCMs. This Consultation Report discusses the feedback that IOSCO received on the Discussion Paper, particularly regarding the Key Considerations, to inform and further develop a set of proposed Good Practices. The Consultation Report also seeks further feedback on the proposed set of Good Practices to foster sound and well-functioning VCMs that meet financial market integrity criteria typically expected in capital markets.
