What is CATS?

The Carbon Assets Tracking System (CATS) is an Emission Reduction (ER) Transaction Registry, designed and implemented to support the issuance and transactions of ER units generated under the World Bank Programs. The first release of CATS provides the foundational and central architecture for accounting and transactions of ER units under the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility Carbon Fund (FCPF CF) and BioCarbon Fund Initiative for Sustainable Forest Landscapes (BioCF ISFL) ER Programs.

What are our goals?

  • To provide a user-friendly software solution to register, track, and as appropriate retire or cancel ER units generated under the WB Programs
  • To implement a strong and reliable architecture to create, govern, store and maintain ER data
  • To guarantee transparency and security to the operation of the system
  • To mitigate double counting, double claiming & double selling risks of the ER units generated under the WB Programs

Who We are

We are a multi-disciplinary team of experts from the climate change fund management, information technology, environmental and international law, who have contributed towards this initiative.
