Dear Alvaro=2C
This month we are celebrating a few milestones and we invite you to join u=
s in recognizing them!
* Earlier this week=2C we approved the issuance (https://verra.org/verra-a=
pproves-first-credits-under-vm0047-arr-methodology/) of the first credits=
 globally under our afforestation=2C reforestation=2C and revegetation (AR=
R) methodology=2C VM0047. This approval demonstrates how Verra=E2=80=99s m=
ethodologies enable projects to deliver real=2C measurable=2C and lasting=
 impact=E2=80=94for the climate=2C but also for the world=E2=80=99s most i=
mportant and most threatened ecosystems=2C like the Cerrado.
* We also recently learned that the Technical Advisory Board (TAB) of the=
 International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has included (https://ve=
rra.org/verras-rice-methodology-approved-under-corsia/) carbon credits fro=
m projects that use Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) methodology VM0051 Impr=
oved Management in Rice Production Systems=2C v1.0 and that are located in=
 REDD+ countries in the first and second phases of the Carbon Offsetting a=
nd Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) (2024=E2=80=932026=
 and 2027=E2=80=932029=2C respectively). Projects using this methodology m=
ay be eligible to supply credits for use under CORSIA=2C if they have the=
 necessary host country government authorization. Airlines can purchase th=
ese credits to meet their CORSIA offsetting requirements while supporting=
 improved rice cultivation practices. Together=2C these transactions advan=
ce vital climate action.
* Finally=2C we are pleased to announce that three new members (https://ve=
rra.org/verra-welcomes-three-new-members-to-the-board-of-directors-in-2026=
/) have been elected and appointed to the Verra Board of Directors: Derek=
 Walker=2C El Hadji Mbaye Diagne=2C and Jennifer Park. With deep expertise=
 in carbon markets=2C climate policy=2C sustainable finance=2C and institu=
tional governance=2C these new members will strengthen Verra=E2=80=99s lea=
dership at a critical moment for global carbon markets.

In closing=2C we hope you'll join us on April 29 at 11:00 am ET for the se=
cond 2026 stakeholder update webinar=2C =E2=80=9CPACM=2C Article 6.2=2C CO=
RSIA=E2=80=94Oh My!=E2=80=9D We will focus on the increasing convergence o=
f voluntary and compliance carbon markets as a welcome evolution and discu=
ss how Verra is at the forefront of supporting the integration of these ma=
rkets. We will also share more detailed information about the following:
* The latest statistics around our initiative to speed up project reviews
* The release of our scorecards for validation/verification bodies (VVBs)
* The upcoming launch of the new Verra Registry with S&P Global Energy

** Get Ready for the Launch of the New Registry!
------------------------------------------------------------


**
------------------------------------------------------------

A quick reminder that we ask all account holders to prepare for the transi=
tion to the new Verra Registry by taking a series of steps that we have ou=
tlined in detail on our dedicated webpage (https://verra.org/verra-registr=
y-transition/) .

Prior to the transition=2C we will share additional details about the laun=
ch=2C including information about a series of webinars to introduce the ne=
w registry functionality and guide account holders through the transition.

A new registry user guide and a set of procedural demo videos (covering ke=
y actions such as creation of a project record=2C and specific steps relat=
ed to issuances=2C transfers=2C and retirements of Verified Carbon Units)=
 will also be made available and recordings of these sessions will be shar=
ed for easy reference.

If you require any assistance with these steps=2C please contact the Verra=
 Registry team at registry@verra.org (mailto:registry@verra.org?subject=3D=
&body=3D) .


** PROJECT SPOTLIGHT ()
------------------------------------------------------------

Congratulations to the Brazil Cerrado 1 project (Verra Project 5511 (https=
://registry.verra.org/app/projectDetail/VCS/5511) )=2C which is the first=
 project to be approved (https://verra.org/verra-approves-first-credits-un=
der-vm0047-arr-methodology/) for credit issuance under Verra's afforestati=
on=2C reforestation=2C and revegetation (ARR) methodology=2C VM0047=2C v1.=
0. The project can now be issued 230=2C120 Verified Carbon Units (VCUs) to=
 support its work across the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso do Sul=2C Mat=
o Grosso=2C and Minas Gerais.


Registered jointly with the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and Climate=2C=
 Community & Biodiversity Standards (CCBS) Programs=2C the Brazil Cerrado=
 1 project restores degraded cattle pasture=2C which was previously subjec=
t to repeated clearing cycles=2C through a combination of native ecosystem=
 restoration and sustainable forest management activities that are certifi=
ed under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Currently=2C 24=2C119 hecta=
res are under the project's management=2C with over 15 million trees plant=
ed and 505 species identified in this biodiverse area. The project also pr=
ioritizes community engagement=2C including through a native seed collecti=
on program that provides training and meaningful income to local residents=
=2E


Over its first 20-year crediting period=2C the project is expected to remo=
ve approximately 7.0 million tonnes of CO[2] equivalent (around 351=2C328=
 tonnes annually) from the atmosphere and restore up to 25=2C000 hectares=
 of forest cover. In doing so=2C it will continue to support local communi=
ties through employment=2C training=2C and livelihood programs=2C as well=
 as enhance biodiversity conservation in the Cerrado biome.


Project development is being led by NK 164 Empreendimentos e Participacoes=
 S.A. and BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group=2C LLC. Aenor served as=
 the validation/verification body (VVB).
