EDF's NbCS team conducts research and convenes stakeholders to find agreement on the science, and the measurement and accounting standards that underpin high-integrity credits. The project focuses on natural climate solutions where we can accelerate carbon storage most quickly because of the scale of the potential storage and the current interest in those credits.
