“…Many ETSs have implemented a two-layered monitoring system in which the company self-reports emissions, an independent verifier checks the report, and an authority spot-checks the verifier. As the example of the New South Wales GGAS shows, and as mentioned in Section 3 with regard to the role of verifiers in baseline-and-credit systems, truthful reporting depends on the impartiality of the verifiers and on incentivizing them to detect violations (Shen et al, 2020).…”

Carbon markets – both emission trading systems and baseline and credit systems – are an increasingly common policy instrument being introduced to address climate change mitigation. However, their design is crucial to ensure that they deliver cost-effective emission reductions while maintaining environmental integrity. This Element puts together a comprehensive, principle-based overview of the risks and abuses to environmental integrity and cost effectiveness that have emerged for carbon markets at all jurisdictional levels around the world, provides concrete examples, and offers effective policy and governance solutions to overcome such risks. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

In most ETSs, public authorities carry out plausibility or random checks, but otherwise rely on the work of verifiers.…”
