International cooperation on the "carbon" future-the establishment of the International Carbon Accounting Verification Council

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the world today. Improving the carbon emission accounting verification mechanism is of great significance to promoting the construction of the international carbon market and accelerating the construction of an international green and low-carbon supply chain. It is also an important part of addressing climate change.

On October 31, in order to strengthen international cooperation and development in the field of carbon accounting verification, China Quality Certification Center joined hands with multinational technical institutions and enterprises to jointly initiate the establishment of the International Carbon Accounting Verification Council (ICAVC), and held its establishment ceremony in Beijing.
