Winners Revealed in Environmental Finance’s 2018 Voluntary Carbon Markets Rankings

Demand for carbon offsets has rocketed despite a lack of clarity over what role, if any, they will have in a possible UN-backed international emissions market arising out of the Paris Agreement.

The winners in Environmental Finance's 2018 Voluntary Carbon Markets Rankings point to several factors encouraging companies to buy more offset credits: the inclusion of the REDD+ methodology for forestry credits in the Paris Agreement; strong expected demand for offsets in the forthcoming mandatory aviation emissions regime; significant purchases resulting from Colombia’s new climate policies; growing corporate interest in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals; and the pressure for greater disclosure of carbon emissions data.
