They enable businesses to offset unavoidable emissions by supporting projects like reforestation or renewable energy. Compliance markets, like the EU ETS, drive industrial emission cuts (47% since 2005), while voluntary markets help companies like Microsoft achieve carbon negativity. Buyers include corporations, governments, and airlines; sellers are project developers. Standards like Verra ensure credit quality through rigorous verification. Despite criticisms of over-reliance, credits complement decarbonization, with global markets expanding via initiatives like CORSIA and Paris Agreement’s Article 6, fostering innovation and sustainability.
