In response to Verra’s announcement, "Serious Allegations Prompt VERRA to Reject China Projects and Launch Broader Reviews", Climate Bridge has submitted to Verra and the relevant VVBs comprehensive evidence and publicly available news materials demonstrating that local government authorities were aware of, engaged with, and supported the AFOLU projects developed by Climate Bridge.
We have done so in the expectation that these materials will support the timely completion of the Quality Control Reviews (QCRs) process. In parallel, Climate Bridge has decided to publicly disclose the relevant news links evidencing local government awareness and engagement, with the objective of addressing public concerns and mitigating potential negative impacts on perceptions of AFOLU projects in China.
