Background: Given its substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, China can only meet its carbon neutrality commitment through unprecedently fast decarbonization. The success of this transition heavily relies on the effective implementation of carbon pricing instruments (CPIs). CPIs are a crucial component of China’s climate policy and are currently executed through compliance and voluntary carbon markets. China’s national emissions trading scheme (ETS), a compliance carbon market launched in July 2021, is the largest globally in terms of covered emissions. Additionally, the China Certified Emission Reduction Scheme (CCER), a voluntary carbon market launched in January 2024, offers an important mechanism to reduce or remove GHG emissions while fostering investments in nature-based solutions (NbS) and green innovations, such as mangrove restoration, low-concentration coal mine methane utilization. Beyond the national markets, several sub-national ETS pilots have been implemented since 2013, followed by adoption of carbon inclusion schemes in many provinces and municipalities in recent years.
World Bank operations in China in recent years focus on delivery of global public goods, one aspect of which is to deliver climate mitigation. These operations can cover many sectors, including but not limited to power and heat, transportation, waste management, agriculture (e.g., livestock and paddy rice) and forestry. In order to improve the sustainability of project outcomes, monetizing the emission reduction/avoidance/removal is important. Therefore, World Bank operations will often consider utilizing existing carbon crediting mechanisms (including carbon inclusion schemes) or developing new methodologies under these schemes for converting the climate benefits to revenues.
Objective: The objective of this consultancy is to perform a comprehensive review of existing carbon crediting mechanisms in China and summarize the results in a logical, succinct and informative manner. The consultancy will analyze the carbon crediting mechanisms’ coverage, characteristics, limitations and applicability to sector of economic activity, e.g. environment, energy, transport, etc. The consultancy outputs will contribute to a guidance note for project specialists interested in incorporating carbon crediting mechanisms in lending operations.
Scope of Work:
A comprehensive table listing available carbon crediting mechanisms (on national, provincial, and municipality level, and including carbon inclusion mechanisms/Tan Pu Hui) in China, description of methodologies under these mechanisms, whether successful projects have been developed under each of the methodologies, the quality of the credits generated in terms of additionality, transparency, real and measurable, and permanence, any limitations of the methodologies. The table should be developed/categorized by sectors, e.g. forestry, energy, transport, etc. and will need to be exhaustive (i.e., including all carbon crediting mechanisms available in China).
It is expected that the consultant will have access to and engage with key stakeholders, including government agencies, academic institutions, NGOs, private sector partners, and international organizations, to be able to make a comprehensive and objective evaluation of the methodologies. In addition, it is expected that the evaluation of the methodologies will be based on established principles and/or best practices. For example, evaluation of the additionality of the methodologies could be based on the UNFCCC Standard.
Deliverables:
Deliverables will be agreed with the respective Task Team Leader (TTL) in writing (e.g., email) at the time of task assignment. The main deliverables of the assignment will include the following: (i) a logical, succinct and informative summary of the findings of the analysis; (ii) a table template with the selected sectors of analysis or methodologies as horizontal entries and the assessment criteria as vertical entries, to be agreed with the TTL; (iii) a populated table listing China’s carbon crediting mechanisms and methodologies with the required information and evaluation as described in the scope of work section; and (iv) annexes with description on research methods and process; and a list of stakeholders and partners engaged as part of the process, including their respective contributions and specialties.
Timing:
The level of effort is estimated at 15 days between August 25 and September 30, 2025. This may be extended as per needs and budget availability.
The Consultant will be paid upon satisfactory completion of tasks and delivery of outputs at a daily rate as determined by the World Bank.
Fees will be paid upon submission of Requests for Payment, along with evidence of the deliverables approved by the TTL.
Qualifications:
Candidates with the following qualifications will be considered (please abstain from applying if you do not meet the minimum requirements):
At least a master’s degree in environmental sciences, environmental economics, climate change, or related subjects.
At least 8 years of demonstrated and robust experience in designing, informing or implementing carbon crediting systems in China and globally.
Excellent communication and networking skills, with the ability to build and maintain relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders.
Fluent in English and Chinese (written and spoken).
Reporting: The consultant will report to Min Hou (Sr. Environmental Specialist) and Yunqing Tian (Program Assistant), and will provide regular updates on progress, challenges, and achievements.
To apply for this position, please submit your resume (1 page), with a maximum one-page cover letter highlighting relevant experiences in designing, informing or implementing carbon crediting mechanisms, to Yunqing Tian (ytian@worldbank.org) by August 15, 2025.
