Ticos responds to the Government's call for a new Standard for good quality Voluntary Carbon Offsets (VERs)
TICOS is currently working with over 30 companies from the travel and tourism industry to develop voluntary responses to climate change issues. It is also a partner in a new national programme in Scotland - Climate Change Scotland.
We are also developing over 50 projects which will reduce carbon emissions in over 30 countries, with a range of international agencies and partners.
In the absence of a satisfactory alternative TICOS has recently developed its own Validation and Verification Standard, prepared by one of its senior independent advisors, Professor Stefan Gössling of Lund University in Sweden.
Please see our VER policy paper for a full copy of our response.
