VIDEO: 30 Years of Climate Impact
Share
For 30 years, ACR has helped shape the evolution of carbon markets.
From establishing the world’s first private greenhouse gas crediting program and issuing the world’s first serialized carbon credits, to helping pioneer the next generation of carbon crediting, ACR has worked to build the standards, infrastructure, and trust needed to scale climate action.
Over three decades, that work has spanned science-based crediting for activities that deliver results at scale, including forest conservation and restoration, geologic carbon storage, and super pollutant mitigation. This period also saw the launch of the Architecture for REDD+ Transaction (ART) – ACR’s sister program – creating a pathway for tropical forest countries to participate in global carbon markets for protecting and restoring forests at scale.
Today, ACR has issued credits totaling nearly 375 million tons of CO2, but the need for ambitious climate action remains as urgent as ever. We are proud of what this milestone represents, and even more focused on the work ahead. Watch our 30th anniversary video.
