102 Introduction to Carbon Markets This course will provide a comprehensive overview of carbon markets, from their origins in global efforts to address climate change to the details of regional emissions trading programs. The lessons in this course will provide you with a general knowledge of climate change policy and the effects of treating greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., carbon) as a tradable commodity. It will expose you to details of Europe’s carbon trading programs and regional carbon markets emerging in North America, as well as the rules of credit trading under the Kyoto Protocol. You will benefit by understanding the economic principles of emissions cap-and-trade policies, the history on the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, what policies countries are implementing to cut their greenhouse gas emissions, carbon offsets and offset projects, the European Union’s emissions trading system, regional carbon trading regimes and voluntary carbon markets. This course is jointly developed by Point Carbon and the GHG Management Institute. COURSE LESSONS
