The article states that the United Nations (UN) suspended the work of the Oslo, Norway based company Det Norske Veritas, the main company that validates carbon-offset projects in developing countries. This development arose at international climate talks that took place in Poland in 2008. The company has validated and certified almost half of the projects approved beneath the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism (CDM).
