The Climate Registry requires emissions data to be verified by accredited verification bodies in order to ensure confidence in the reported data.  The Registry's General Verification Protocol (GVP) provides guidance to verification bodies on how to verify reported emissions.

Registry-approved verification bodies should utilize the GVP to implement a standardized approach to the independent third-party verification of annual GHG emissions reported to The Registry.  This standardized approach to verification of Members’ annual emissions reports results in the completeness, consistency, comparability, accuracy and transparency of emissions data reported to The Registry. 

The GVP is written as a guidance document for Verifiers and a reference document for Members.
