Compare carbon markets around the world
As the race toward net zero accelerates, carbon pricing has evolved from a policy experiment to a mainstream instrument of decarbonization. More than 40 jurisdictions now operate carbon pricing systems, ranging from emissions trading schemes and national crediting programs to carbon taxes and voluntary standards. Each reflects different regulatory philosophies, economic contexts, and political priorities.
Our Carbon Markets Guide provides a clear, comparative view of this evolving landscape. Each country profile highlights the essential features of its system, making it easier to compare regulatory approaches, identify compliance requirements, and spot strategic opportunities. Whether you are an investor exploring market entry, a business developing offset strategies, or a policymaker evaluating international approaches, these guides translate complex regulatory environments into accessible, actionable insight by bridging the gap between high-level climate ambition and on-the-ground implementation.
