What We Do

The Carbon Rating Agency is an IDEAcarbon company committed to establishing rigorous and comparable standards that will enable the global carbon markets to attract the levels of finance necessary for preventing climate change. We are the leading global assessors of international CDM and JI ventures, providing project stakeholders with key insights in a range of risk factors.

Tailored to client needs, our reports can either be commissioned as quick snapshots of performance or a comprehensive assessment of various project variables.

It is the UN’s belief that “climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and that all Parties share a vision for long-term cooperative action”. We believe that significant steps toward positive climate change will only become a reality when the public and private sector are mutually engaged in long term commitments. A substantial obstacle preventing these investments continues to be a lack of transparency in the variety of risks that are involved with climate projects- a factor found to be increasingly significant since the Economic downturn.

The Carbon Rating Agency was created to facilitate the need for an independent review of climate projects, providing senior figures within both public and private entities with the information necessary to commit to projects. This information includes both the quantitative analytical tools and qualitative consideration of policy and regulatory issues to create accurate indicators of project performance.
