What is Carbon Trading & How does it Work?

Global warming is affecting the Earth more viciously than expected. The alarming rate at which the glaciers are melting and the sea levels are rising threatens the mass extinction of every species on the planet.

To counter this challenge, governments around the world came together and have designed a market-based system called carbon trading, under the Paris Agreement, to control and regulate the carbon emitted by businesses, especially the ones that are heavily dependent on fossil fuels.

How does carbon trading work?

There are multiple models designed to facilitate carbon trading, but the recent and successful one is the Cap and Trade scheme.

Cap and Trade Scheme

In this scheme, the government sets a limit on the emission over a time period and allots a fixed number of permits to compensate for the pollution. Each carbon permit is equal to one tonne of CO2 equivalent. Therefore, companies need to track their carbon footprint to comply with the carbon trading scheme.

Businesses that effectively reduce their emissions and manage to spare some carbon credits can auction them for money. Similarly, companies who exceed their carbon emission threshold limit can purchase carbon credits from these auctions.

Carbon Offsets

Another way companies aim to compensate for their exceeding their cap limits is by buying carbon offsets in the free market. Carbon offset refers to any activity which reduces the emission of greenhouse gases elsewhere.

Usually, the sellers of these offsets are project developers who design carbon-reducing systems and technology. Hence, each ton of carbon that is avoided polluting the environment counts as one carbon offset.

Advantage of Carbon Trading

Carbon trading has collectively involved the prime polluters from the developed countries to implement technologies that reduce their emissions. As these companies are majorly dependent on fuels, they usually exceed their allotted threshold, and hence are forced to buy carbon credit from the developing nations, providing the latter with the financial aid it needs.

Carbon trading also provides the flexibility to businesses to change their operations at their own pace. For example, small businesses can easily implement the latest technologies to reduce their carbon footprint and auction the spare carbon credits. Likewise, big corporations can buy these carbon credits to compensate for excess carbon emissions.

Disadvantages of Carbon Trading

Although carbon trading has lowered the carbon emission of many businesses, the scheme is still loose-ended and can be exploited by some companies via its loopholes. As the west is adapting to the concept, there�s still a lot of room for its improvement.

Nevertheless, carbon trading schemes are a work in progress and with stricter laws and controlled demand and supply of carbon permits, the scheme can drastically help the world counter global warming

A Brief Introduction of Sustainable Development Goals

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are also known as the Global Goals. These were adopted by the United Nations, in 2015. A universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, & ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

Sustainable Development goals are The 17 SDGs are integrated - They recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others and that development must balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability.

The 17 SDGs are:

  1. No Poverty,
  2. Zero Hunger,
  3. Good Health and Well-being,
  4. Quality Education,
  5. Gender Equality,
  6. Clean Water and Sanitation,
  7. Affordable and Clean Energy,
  8. Decent Work and Economic Growth,
  9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure,
  10. Reducing Inequality,
  11. Sustainable Cities and Communities,
  12. Responsible Consumption and Production,
  13. Climate Action,
  14. Life Below Water,
  15. Life On Land,
  16. Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions,
  17. Partnerships for the Goals.

All countries have committed to prioritizing progress for all those who're the furthest & behind. The SDGs are designed to help with and end poverty, remove hunger, control AIDS, set the right ideals to end discrimination against women & girls.

Though all the goals are broad & interdependent, two years later, on 6 July 2017; the SDGs were made more “workable” & "actionable" by a UN Resolution which was adopted by the General Assembly. The resolution identifies specific targets for each goal to be achieved, along with indicators that will be used to measure progress towards each target. While the rest of the target years lie between 2020-2030; for others, the end date is not yet provided.

The thought, the creativity, the know-how, the technology & the financial resources from all of society is necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context. Only with everyone’s support, we can begin to think of a better tomorrow. Deeply analyzed progress charts & presentations for all the SDGs are published in the form of reports by the United Nations Secretary-General on their official channels. The most recent one is from April 2020.

Along with that, there is also a widespread consensus is that: The progress on all of the SDGs will be stalled if Women's Empowerment & Gender Equality are not prioritized, & treated holistically with all intentions to take them forward. The SDGs are a sign to policymakers as well as private sector executives and board members to work towards gender equality and women empowerment harder as the rest of the other SGDs have deadlines and we will probably miss them if these two prioritized ones don’t get momentum & begin to see some change.

Implementation of the SDGs started worldwide in 2016. This process can also be called "Localizing the SDGs" for the people and territories. For eg; Individual people, universities, governments, institutions & organizations of all kinds work are working separately but one or more goals at the same time which aligns the collective growth in the same direction.

SDGs provide us the framework through which we can move ahead into a more peaceful, prosperous, equal for all, green future. And each country has a role to play in achieving them.

Know the difference between carbon-neutral, net-zero, and climate positive

It all started in the 90s when international conferences took up a crucial issue of sustainable development. Decades after discussing climate-related challenges, now governments, people and corporations are actually assessing and contributing to the sustainability journey of the planet. The target set to lower the global temperatures is one such step. Such initiatives have turned people’s heads towards ever-pressing issues of global warming and associated challenges.

Here, often we are stormed with a sea of information that we focus majorly on the context rather than the significance of terms on an individual basis. Sustainability, climate change, net-zero, carbon emissions are the buzzwords. The context remains the same as that of climate change but fundamentally they are different. Everyone, including companies, tend to understand the climate lingo but hardly they are clear about the goals. Read on further and know the difference among the concepts of carbon-neutral, net-zero and climate positive.

Carbon neutral:

As the name suggests, carbon-neutral is the balancing out of carbon emissions from your firm. It is more like owning a complete responsibility for one’s own carbon emissions. Corporates and companies need to assess and analyse their carbon emissions. Such analysis gives an idea about the number of carbon emissions that need to be balanced out. It is then that firms plan to come out carbon neutral by saving an equivalent amount of carbon emissions somewhere else in the world.

Net-zero:

The Net-zero concept is a simple concept of balancing out the net emissions created. Here emissions are of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide. These levels are reached when anthropogenic emissions balance out with the help of pre-determined activities.

Climate Positive:

It lies in that much-awaited stage in the sustainability journey, wherein companies or entities tend to remove an additional amount of carbon from the atmosphere. It has reached the level of achieving net-zero emissions and now stands beyond the same. This term is often used interchangeably with climate negative.

Is your company carbon neutral or climate positive or has net-zero emissions?

Well, after knowing these are different and important concepts, a firm needs to introspect about these. Raising these questions can help us achieve our environmental goals faster. Prior to that, your company needs to analyse emissions. Accordingly, you can set realistic goals and plan a roadmap. For the same, consult a team of professionals dealing in the same.

Hopefully, tech giants and corporates are taking steps towards assessing their goals and contributions. However, a lot needs to be done collectively on this pressing issue, until we balance out our needs with our climate’s needs.
