An Introduction to the Voluntary Carbon Market

The voluntary carbon market has recently crossed the bar of USD 2.0 billion in value. In recent times, an increasing number of corporates make use of the voluntary carbon market to offset their emissions. This has created a substantial number of opportunities for project developers and financiers. Unfortunately, this growth was also accompanied by crashes and controversies. In such a rapidly growing and technical market, it is not always easy to perceive all the risks associated with carbon projects.
