The Role of Carbon Markets in Achieving Net-Zero Emissions

Climate change remains the most critical global challenge today. Carbon markets hold significant potential to complement these reduction efforts by offering financial incentives for additional emissions reduction projects. They also serve as catalysts, accelerating the transition toward a low-carbon economy by mobilizing capital and fostering green technological innovations that promote environmental and economic sustainability. Advanced climate models paint a troubling picture of the future, forecasting severe storms, wildfires, species extinctions, and the collapse of ecosystems. By refining carbon credit taxonomy, enhancing quality standards, clarifying the use of corresponding adjustments, and expanding market infrastructure, the carbon market can become a more effective tool in combating climate change.
