Carbon Green Investments (CGI) thanks Verra for providing its update and results from their review of the Kariba REDD+ Project, as outlined in their September 23, 2025, letter and public statement. Although lengthy, we do appreciate the time and effort invested in this complex process, which should have reflected the shared commitment to maintaining high standards in the voluntary carbon market.
In response, CGI, in collaboration with the Government of Zimbabwe, will carefully review Verra’s outcome. To ensure a thorough, true, and accurate outcome, CGI has conducted independent third-party assessments of the carbon accounting and related matters, using all up-to-date data, scientific findings and appropriate methodologies. From this evaluation, CGI will partner with the new registry to address and mitigate any historical discrepancies in credit issuance, prioritising transparency and the long-term sustainability of the project.
We value Verra’s role in trying to advance environmental integrity and look forward to constructive dialogue as we move forward.
“CGI remains dedicated to the Kariba Project’s mission of forest conservation and community support in Zimbabwe,” said the company representative, “We are grateful for Verra’s input and are committed to continue working toward resolutions that uphold the highest standards.”
