Carbon Footprint
Who’s who in the carbon market: Key institutions and frameworks and what they do
The carbon market is no longer an experimental frontier—it’s becoming a fully-fledged pillar of global environmental finance. In 2025, it matured into a multi-billion-dollar ecosystem governed by a growing body of credible, specialised institutions.
