Description:
To overcome these barriers, we founded the Higher Ground Foundation with the goal of developing a measure that recognises the benefits of adaptation in a more equitable manner—the VRC. With the basic economic concept in place, we worked closely with a multidisciplinary group of experts to formulate a technical ‘standard framework’ for the VRC modelled on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and its environmental, social, and governance principles. The VRC Standard Framework was formally launched at the 23rd Conference of Parties Climate Conference (Bonn, 2017). Projects can register to qualify for VRCs under our current ‘Pilot Implementation and Partnerships Phase’ (PIPP). We actively seek partners for the PIPP across a range of sectors and regions to develop pilot projects. Direct access to this tool: https://www.thehighergroundfoundation.org/standard-framework
