Take carbon markets 101 and learn the fundamentals behind carbon-pricing systems.
Carbon pricing at a glance
Carbon pricing can be an effective policy tool to make polluters pay for their greenhouse-gas emissions. Out of the 60 or so programs around the world, the most common are taxes and emission-trading programs. Broadly speaking, the former guarantees the carbon price and the latter delivers a guaranteed reduction in emissions.
How carbon trading works
Carbon permits may be traded as part of a mandatory program, with most transactions occurring on an exchange. Carbon offsets may also be traded by participants in some compliance programs as well as companies, governments and individuals with sustainability targets. Most trades are via broker.
Participants and their role in carbon trading
Compliance carbon markets typically involve governments, companies required to participate, and the finance and trading community. Voluntary carbon markets have a more complex value chain involving project developers, registries, brokers and corporations looking to meet their sustainability targets.

Emission caps and permit allocation
A volume-based cap should deliver a certain emissions reduction, while a cap based on intensity may allow more flexibility but could mean emissions rise. Governments often begin by offering a significant share of permits for free and later switch to auctions.
