A carbon market allows investors and corporations to trade carbon credits and carbon offsets simultaneously. This alleviates the environmental crisis and at the same time creates new market opportunities. New challenges almost always create new markets, and the ongoing climate crisis and rising global emissions are no exception. The renewed interest in carbon markets is relatively new. International carbon trading markets have existed since the Kyoto Protocols of 1997, but the emergence of new regional markets has spurred an increase in investment.
