The other day, I pointed out that the collapse in the carbon price on the EU ETS compliance market was down to politics, not an inherent failing of cap-and-trade. I concluded by pointing out that we need courageous political leaders willing to take faster action against climate change.
It seems I'm not alone in reaching this conclusion. Here's the article lead from yesterday's Point Carbon news website:
Of course, the voluntary carbon markets are relatively less likely to be held hostage by politics. Companies around the world increasingly are going beyond any compliance obligations to set ambitious emission reduction targets and buy quality carbon offset credits that reduce GHG emissions outside their organisational footprint boundaries. Carbon Clear is committed to helping companies control their carbon impact - we look forward to working with you.
