The Global Carbon Council (GCC) and Global Environmental Markets Ltd. (GEM) have joined forces to acquire the Global Carbon Registry® (GCR). The registry will be used by the GCC to manage carbon credits, simplifying the issuance, transfer and retirement of these credits. It is also set up to process Article 6.2 credits for countries that are interested in doing so. GCC is an international carbon credits and sustainable development program.  The GCR is an advanced system that helps track Article 6.2 credits, which are important for global climate efforts. It is part of voluntary carbon market (VCM) and offers several features that make transactions smoother and easier. ((Jennifer L, carboncredits.com)
