Abstract： Advantage and disadvantage were compared among the main carbon offset standards for international voluntary carbon sequestration market. It was indicated that CDM\|AR (Afforestation and Reforestation Standard under CDM) is a better offset standard on insuring the additional for carbon offset.AFOLU\|VCS is a standard that reflects costs efficiency for validation and verification while still ensuring basic quality requirement. CCBS is standard that achieves biodiversity conservation and community benefits.Plan vivo system is a standard that helps to relieve the proverty and achieved multiple benefits. It was proposed that the combination of AFOLU\|VCS with CCBS should be implemented in voluntary carbon sequestration projects in China.
