What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Track; not yet

Why
A landmark first-of-its-kind regulatory standard with strong momentum, but missing registry infrastructure (late 2028), unresolved reversal-liability gaps, no ETS linkage yet, and first units only in 2026/2027 mean certified units are not yet a mature, transactable instrument.
Next
Watch the certification-scheme recognition process (post 7 May 2026 entry into force), the summer-2026 carbon-farming delegated act, the mid-2026 EU ETS revision (potential linkage), and progress on the late-2028 EU registry before assuming CRCF units are tradeable/settleable assets.
