GSS CERT has become a member of the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA), a leading non-profit business association working to establish a functioning emissions market.
Joining IETA will allow GSS to join international efforts to create efficient, market-based carbon trading systems and to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
IETA members include financial institutions, carbon brokers and traders, consultants, energy and power suppliers, industry, law firms, standards and registries, as well as technology providers such as ClimateTrade.
The association has established a number of working groups that analyze the market and propose new policies and protocols on forestry, REDD+, voluntary markets, market oversight and how decisions in the US and EU directly and indirectly affect players and investors.
