CARBON & dMRV

Where Does Carbon Fit In?

Carbon is an important part of the ARCBP programme — but it is not the whole programme.

Carbon-related activities can help create financial mechanisms that support restoration, conservation and sustainable land management.

Our broader objective is to develop projects that deliver meaningful environmental, social and economic value.

Measuring What Matters

Credible climate and environmental projects require credible measurement.

ARCBP incorporates digital Measurement, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) approaches within its project development framework.

What is dMRV?

dMRV means digital Measurement, Reporting and Verification.

In simple terms, it is the use of digital tools and systems to collect, manage, analyse and verify information about what is happening within a project.

This can help answer important questions:

What was there before the project?

What is changing?

How much has changed?

Can those changes be measured and verified?

From Project to Carbon Market

The project development pathway may include:

Project Identification

↓

Baseline & Assessment

↓

Project Design

↓

Monitoring & dMRV

↓

Validation / Verification

↓

Carbon Asset Development

↓

Carbon Market

The exact pathway will depend on the project, applicable standards and relevant project requirements.
