Fundamental presentation of the carbon market
While business stakeholders require organizations to reduce emissions to limit contributions to climate change, carbon markets have become more relevant than ever. It is important to understand these markets and how to commit responsibly to reduce the risks of an ineffective carbon management plan. We are going to start the course with the bases of the carbon markets: goal, terminology, key events and engines that have converged to create today's market dynamics. Then, we will discuss compliance and voluntary markets and how these differ, as well as examples.
We will assess different types of projects and their characteristics (in terms of number of compensations generated compared to the value of these compensations), before discussing the seven key measures used to assess projects. We will end the course by examining how analysts and management teams can engage with the carbon markets and proceed with a reasonable diligence around the quality of the project.
