    A WORLD Bank-backed carbon credit data sharing platform will go live by March next year in hopes of harmonising data from a highly fragmented market.

    Climate Action Data Trust (Cad Trust), which officially launched in Singapore on Wednesday (Dec 7), said plans are underway to integrate the data on all four major registries including Verra and Gold Standard and two smaller registries, by the first quarter of 2023, when the first public data layer will go live.

    As many of these registries are already represented via a council that was formed to advise and guide the initiative, data integration is already underway for several of them, it added.
