Our experts views
Carbon markets offer an enticing structure: a marketplace that can scale decarbonization, where one credit bought is one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) reduced, avoided or removed. They allow money to flow towards the decarbonization efforts that have the lowest cost – wherever they are located in the world and whatever form they take. They can fund decarbonization projects that would never have gotten off the ground without credit generation, can involve significant additional benefits for communities, and could prove an essential tool in the decarbonization toolbox. In a nutshell, the world needs functional VCMs to reach aggressive decarbonization targets.
