Carbon Markets & Methodologies
Understand methodologies before prices and trading.
Studying how carbon-market rules translate activities and evidence into quantified environmental claims.
What this field means
Understand methodologies before prices and trading.
Carbon markets should be understood through methodologies, not only prices and trading. Methodologies shape eligibility, baselines, additionality, monitoring and the treatment of uncertainty, leakage and permanence.
