2-minute walkthrough
Watch how Country Policy Profiles track Article 6 bilateral agreements, CORSIA participation, carbon pricing mechanisms, and VCM regulations across 150+ countries.
Carbon market regulation is evolving rapidly across jurisdictions. Article 6 bilateral agreements have accelerated since COP28, CORSIA Phase 1 is narrowing eligible programs, and a growing number of host countries are imposing export restrictions or domestic retention requirements on voluntary carbon credits. Staying current across 150+ countries manually is no longer practical.

Coverage
Four policy dimensions
Each country profile is structured around four regulatory dimensions that directly affect voluntary carbon credit transactions. These dimensions cover international cooperation frameworks, aviation offsetting eligibility, domestic pricing instruments, and national restrictions on credit exports. Together they provide a comprehensive jurisdictional risk picture for any carbon market participant.
Article 6 Status
Bilateral agreements, Letters of Authorization, MOUs, ITMO trading status, and corresponding adjustment tracking under the Paris Agreement.
CORSIA Eligibility
Aviation carbon offsetting scheme participation by country, current phase, eligible programs, and vintage windows.
Carbon Pricing
Carbon taxes, emissions trading systems, domestic pricing mechanisms, and price levels across jurisdictions.
VCM Regulations
Export restrictions, moratoriums, domestic retention requirements, and regulatory changes affecting voluntary carbon credits.
How it works
AI-powered regulatory monitoring
VCM.fyi uses a multi-prompt architecture powered by Gemini with Google Search grounding to scan every country each week. Five dedicated prompts target distinct regulatory domains, and every finding is validated against embedded ground truth baselines before being published. This approach catches policy shifts that single-prompt systems routinely miss.
Multi-prompt scanning
Five specialized AI prompts scan each country across Article 6, CORSIA, carbon pricing, VCM regulation, and ground truth baselines.
Ground truth validation
Every finding is cross-referenced against embedded baselines from ICAO CORSIA 6th Edition, A6 Implementation Status Report, and World Bank Carbon Pricing Dashboard.
Weekly updates delivered
Country profiles update every Thursday with the latest regulatory developments, bilateral deals, and policy shifts.
Data sources
Grounded in authoritative baselines
AI-generated intelligence is only as reliable as its validation layer. Every country profile is cross-referenced against three authoritative datasets maintained by international institutions. These baselines ensure that scanning results reflect verified regulatory status rather than speculative or outdated information from web sources alone.

Use cases
Who uses country policy intelligence
Country-level regulatory intelligence is essential for anyone transacting in the voluntary carbon market. Consultants advising on Article 6 structuring, corporate sustainability teams screening jurisdictional risk, and financial institutions evaluating carbon asset portfolios all rely on current, accurate policy data to make informed decisions and avoid regulatory surprises.
