FAQs

Understanding Voluntary Carbon Markets

FAQs for Institutional Investors, Companies, and Governments

Institutional investors

  • What are voluntary carbon markets?

    Voluntary carbon markets are platforms where individuals, businesses, and organizations can buy and sell carbon credits to offset their carbon emissions voluntarily.

  • Why should institutional investors invest in voluntary carbon markets?

    Institutional investors can invest in voluntary carbon markets to meet their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives, reduce their carbon footprint, and support sustainability initiatives. Investing in carbon credits can also provide diversification to their portfolio.

  • How do carbon credits work?

    Carbon credits are a tradable unit of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emissions reductions or removals. One carbon credit represents the reduction or removal of one metric ton of CO2e from the atmosphere.

  • What should institutional investors consider before investing in voluntary carbon markets?

    Institutional investors should consider the credibility and quality of carbon credits, the transparency of the carbon market platform, and the regulatory landscape governing the market.

Companies seeking to offset their emissions

  • How can companies offset their carbon emissions?

    Companies can offset their carbon emissions by buying carbon credits from voluntary carbon markets. The purchased carbon credits represent the reduction or removal of an equivalent amount of CO2e from the atmosphere.

  • Why should companies offset their carbon emissions?

    Companies should offset their carbon emissions to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, reduce their carbon footprint, and comply with ESG regulations. Carbon offsetting can also help companies achieve their climate goals and meet the expectations of their stakeholders.

  • How can companies ensure the credibility and quality of carbon credits?

    Companies can ensure the credibility and quality of carbon credits by buying credits from certified and reputable carbon market platforms. They can also verify the authenticity of the carbon credits through third-party certification and auditing.

  • What are the benefits of investing in voluntary carbon markets?

    Investing in voluntary carbon markets can help companies build their reputation as environmentally responsible organizations, attract environmentally conscious investors and customers, and provide long-term value to their business by mitigating climate risks.

Governments

  • How can governments support voluntary carbon markets?

    Governments can support voluntary carbon markets by providing policy incentives and creating regulatory frameworks that promote transparency, credibility, and quality assurance of carbon credits. They can also invest in research and development of new carbon capture and storage technologies to increase the supply of carbon credits.

  • What are the benefits of supporting voluntary carbon markets?

    Supporting voluntary carbon markets can help governments achieve their climate goals and commitments under the Paris Agreement, promote sustainable economic development, and attract foreign investments in low-carbon technologies.

  • How can governments benefit from their own forests and other types of natural resources to obtain carbon credits?

    Governments can benefit from their own forests and other types of natural resources to obtain carbon credits through the implementation of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) programs. These programs provide financial incentives for developing countries to protect and conserve their forests, which absorb and store carbon. Governments can also obtain carbon credits through afforestation and reforestation projects, sustainable land management practices, and renewable energy projects. These activities not only help mitigate climate change but also contribute to biodiversity conservation and sustainable development.
