What are the key forces behind the carbon credit market’s growth in recent years?
The growing need to reduce global carbon emissions is expected to propel the growth of the carbon credit market going forward. Carbon emissions are the release of carbon dioxide and other carbon-containing gases into the atmosphere, which trap the heat from the sun and cause the planet to warm. Carbon credits for carbon emissions create a monetary incentive for companies to reduce emissions, and they help the environment by removing carbon from the atmosphere, providing a clear framework for reducing emissions, and boosting economies by investing in sustainable activities. For Instance, in October 2022, the report by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, a US-based international entity, indicated that CO2 emissions needed to be cut by 45% by 2030 and that to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the emissions reductions needed to be roughly ten times that amount, from 1 to 2 billion tons each year. Therefore, the growing need to reduce global carbon emissions is expected to propel the growth of the carbon credit market.
