Written in a structured and accessible manner, the book simplifies complex frameworks such as baseline and additionality, monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV), standards and registries, and the pricing mechanisms that shape international and domestic carbon markets. This book highlight how carbon credits are generated, traded, and used by different stakeholders, making the subject matter relatable and application-oriented.

By combining scientific knowledge with policy and market perspectives, Introduction to Carbon Market aims to build a clear foundation for readers to not only grasp the principles of carbon trading but also to explore its potential as a tool for sustainable development, green investments, and climate resilience.
