The gradual erosion of international climate finance, especially after the withdrawal of the USA from the Paris Agreement, has put prominent focus back on carbon markets as vital tools to enable countries and non-state entities to reduce emissions while supporting sustainable development.By assigning monetary value to carbon reductions, these markets incentivize green investments in projects such as reforestation and renewable energy. As key mechanisms under the Paris Agreement’s Article 6, carbon markets mobilize resources for climate action, contributing to sustainable development goals like poverty alleviation and environmental integrity.
