Successfully Navigate the Global Carbon Markets

The global carbon markets continue to be dynamic in the light of pledges made by different countries prior to the Copenhagen summit, and to upcoming US Federal climate legislation. Reduced deforestation has recently been added to the carbon markets.

At present, the two project-based flexibility mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the Joint Implementation (JI), provide the majority of the world's emission reduction credits.

The European Union Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS) is the largest multi-national trading scheme in the world and serves as the end market for most of the Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) produced by the CDM and the JI.

The voluntary emission reduction market place encompasses projects outside of regulated compliance schemes. Forestry and energy efficiency are two sectors served by the voluntary market.
