As the world races toward net-zero emissions, carbon credits have emerged as one of the most dynamic tools in the fight against climate change. Valued at over USD 630 billion in 2024 and projected to exceed USD 10 trillion by 2034, the global carbon credit market reflects both the urgency and opportunity in sustainable investing.
Yet, behind this exponential growth lie deeper questions of integrity, accountability, and permanence. How reliable are carbon credits? Do they truly deliver environmental impact—or risk becoming a license to pollute?
In this edition of स्थायित्वम्, CNK & Associates LLP explores the evolving carbon credit ecosystem—from market frameworks and India’s new Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) to carbon accounting, ESG integration, and the global push for transparency. Discover how businesses can turn sustainability into measurable action and why integrity will define the future of green finance.
