UK Carbon Code of Conduct

The UK Carbon Code of Conduct (UKCCC), is a carbon and nature credit issuance mechanism, built for farmers, around set of standards for land management that promotes investment in nature-based solutions to climate change and biodiversity loss.

The UKCCC takes a holistic approach and is built on four pillars:

• Assured Additionality
• Assured Permanence
• Avoidance of Leakage
• Avoidance of negative outcomes.

The UKCCC takes a pragmatic view, realising that the climate emergency requires an urgent response, whilst ensuring projects are backed by relevant scientific data and measurement of baselines and outcomes.
