GCC Program has developed the governance structure, systems, carbon registry and the documentation framework to facilitate the building of low-carbon economies. This is via operation of a voluntary carbon marketplace to provide recognition of, and facilitate carbon finance for, GCC projects. The GCC Operations Team in Doha, Qatar serves as Secretariat of the GCC Program and works under the strategic advice of the GCC Advisory Board. Decisions on projects or issuance of Approved Carbon Credits (ACCs) are made collectively by the GCC Steering Committee, composed of nominated and recognized experts, based on a positive verification report by a GCC Verifier.
