Global Carbon Council in Qatar receives approval under ICAO's CORSIA

Qatar-based Global Carbon Council (GCC), an initiative of Gulf Organisation for Research & Development (GORD) and the first and only global voluntary greenhouse gas (GHG) offsetting program of the Mena region, has recently received its full approval from the United Nation’s International Civil Aviation Organization’s (ICAO) Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).

With expectation to issue more than 10 million carbon credits in 2021, GCC is listed among eight international programmes that are eligible to supply carbon credits to international airlines to meet their carbon neutral growth. Across the world, carbon markets are gaining traction. By issuing carbon credits, GCC is assisting international organisations to offset unavoidable carbon emissions while also supporting the development of emission reduction projects and catalysing climate actions.
