Explore Our Key Features
Emissions
The GHG emissions dashboard provides insights into historical GHG emissions, alignment with national emissions targets and timelines, as well as modeled future emission pathways under different policy scenarios.
VCM Analytics
The Voluntary Carbon Market Analytics (VCM) Analytics Module provides a detailed overview and analysis of the country's voluntary carbon market activity. It is designed to offer policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders a comprehensive understanding of the current state and dynamics of the VCM in the country.
Carbon Market Opportunities
In order to meet their GHG emission reduction targets filed with the UNFCCC, countries must identify GHG mitigation measures to implement. Most of these measures lead to a reduction or avoidance of GHG emissions, and can thus be developed as carbon assets. This dashboard provides an overview of potential carbon revenue and relevant methodologies for harnessing carbon finance from each country's mitigation measures and priorities, serving as a supplementary funding source for achieving their climate goals.
Policy Assessment
The Carbon Market Policy Assessment Module provides a comprehensive evaluation of the country's carbon market policies against a set of well-defined benchmarks and best practices. By thoroughly examining the country’s existing climate policies, as well as on-the-ground testimonies from relevant stakeholders, we can determine the adequacy of the country's policy frameworks, pinpoint areas for improvement, and offer recommendations based on global best practices.
Ecosystem Mapping
The stakeholder mapping dashboard is an aggregated repository of stakeholders involved in each country's carbon markets, sorted by their roles and responsibilities within the carbon market value chain.
Carbon Credit Pricing Insights
The Carbon Credit Pricing Insights Module provides an in-depth analysis of current trends and factors influencing the pricing of carbon credits across various project categories in the VCM. This module is an essential resource for policymakers, investors, and other stakeholders to understand the dynamics of carbon credit prices and make informed decisions to optimize their pricing strategies and enhance market competitiveness.
