This comprehensive guide explores the dynamics of carbon markets, offering insights into their role in combating climate change and providing practical applications for various stakeholders.
In Carbon Markets, readers are provided with a thorough and approachable exploration of the regulated and voluntary carbon markets that play a crucial role in addressing climate change. The book begins with a clear overview of the climate change issue, summarizing the latest scientific findings across various disciplines. This foundation sets the stage for a deeper understanding of how carbon markets function and their significance in the global effort to mitigate environmental impacts.
The text delves into economic theories related to carbon allowances and explains the intricacies of the Kyoto Protocol, including its flexibility mechanisms. Additionally, it covers the practical workings of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, highlighting its effectiveness and challenges. The authors also keep readers informed about ongoing developments in regulated carbon markets in the United States, as well as updates from Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, ensuring that the information is current and relevant.
Carbon Markets is designed for a diverse audience, including business leaders, financiers, carbon traders, lawyers, and policymakers. By blending theoretical insights with practical applications, the book serves as a vital resource for anyone interested in understanding market mechanisms that can effectively combat climate change. Notably, the carbon emissions associated with the production of this book have been calculated and offset, rendering it carbon neutral, showcasing a commitment to sustainability.
