Abstract

Voluntary carbon markets are an important tool in the fight against climate change, but several issues make them less effective. Carbon offsets often overstate emissions reductions, and firms use these as a cheaper alternative to investing in real, tangible emissions reductions in their own supply chains. Ram Smaran Suresh Kumar summarises the key issues with these markets and outlines important reforms they need.
