Compliance Markets

Definition

Regulatory frameworks where companies or entities are required to buy and trade emission allowances or credits to meet mandatory greenhouse gas reduction targets set by government regulations. These markets are designed to ensure that participants comply with established emission limits, typically through mechanisms like cap-and-trade systems or carbon taxes. Compliance markets aim to drive emissions reductions by creating economic incentives for organizations to lower their carbon footprint while providing a transparent system for tracking and verifying compliance.
