• Definition of carbon credits
A carbon credit is a tradable certificate or permit that represents the right to emit one metric ton of carbon dioxide (CO2) or an equivalent amount of another greenhouse gas.
• Importance in addressing climate change
The concept is rooted in emissions trading programs designed to mitigate climate change by putting a price on carbon emissions.

Carbon Credit Market Landscape
• Differentiating compliance and voluntary
markets voluntary carbon credit markets where individuals, businesses, and organizations can voluntarily offset their carbon footprints by purchasing credits.
• Explanation of cap and trade systems
Carbon credits are often part of cap and trade systems, where a regulatory body sets a cap on the total allowable greenhouse gas emissions within a specified time frame. The total cap is divided into permits, each representing a certain amount of emissions. Companies that emit less than their allocated permits can sell excess permits as carbon credits, while those exceeding their limits must purchase additional permits.
