Carbon Markets
Carbon market is a term that we are hearing ever more frequently. These markets aim to provide the much needed mechanisms, financing and standards to help transition to a greener economy. Originally they were aimed at facilitating emission permits trading but now they encompass a wide variety of innovative solutions including project credits, credits for avoidance and removal of emissions. Carbon markets have evolved over the last few decades and continue to do so with new standards, improved regulation and innovative models to verify emissions reductions. In this pathway, Nicola Steen takes us through the history, rationale behind emissions trading schemes and the birth of voluntary carbon markets.
