Global Carbon Markets – Emissions Trading  Training

This training course will cover the basics of global carbon markets and emissions trading. After completing this course, you will understand the economic theory and practical application of cap-and-trade systems for greenhouse gases (GHG Fundamentals) and why they are used to mitigate climate change.

Emissions trading schemes, or “carbon markets,” are market-based tools meant to limit greenhouse gas emissions. They set a limit on how much a country or company can emit, and if they exceed that limit, they can buy permits from others.

Krishnaji Pawar, the CEO and founder of Beyond Smart Cities, is in charge of creating the Global Carbon Markets: Emissions Trading training course.

Specialises in developing sustainable design strategies for Green Building Certification Systems (LEED, GSAS, ACP, ISO 14001:2015, etc.), Energy Management, Energy Efficiency, Energy Audit, Building Commissioning, Environmental Impact Assessment, and Environmental Management Systems.

The carbon markets are trading systems in which carbon credits are sold and bought. One tradable carbon credit equals one tonne of carbon dioxide or the equivalent amount of a different greenhouse gas reduced, sequestered, or avoided.

According to research presented on Tuesday by Refinitiv, the value of traded worldwide markets for carbon dioxide (CO2) permits hit a record 850 billion euros ($909 billion) last year.

Although approximately 12.5 billion tonnes of carbon permits were traded on the global emissions markets in 2018, which is 20% less than the previous year, the value of the markets increased by 14% due to the significantly higher prices for permits.

Trading programmes for emissions are market-based strategies that are intended to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. They set a limit on how much a country or company is allowed to emit, and if they go over that limit, they have to acquire permits from other nations or firms.

Addressing these concerns will help carbon markets succeed. Real emission reductions and removals must match the country’s NDC. The carbon market’s institutional and financial architecture must be transparent. Social and environmental safeguards are needed to mitigate project impacts and promote favourable ones.
