The World Bank 2024 report on “State and Trends of Carbon Pricing 2024” reveals that global carbon pricing revenues topped a record $100 billion in 2023, marking a significant milestone in climate finance. With 75 carbon pricing instruments now in operation worldwide, more than half of the revenue is being directed towards climate and nature-based projects. This surge underscores the critical role of carbon pricing in driving global sustainability efforts and funding essential environmental initiatives. The increase in carbon pricing revenues is crucial for supporting large-scale environmental projects and achieving global climate goals. Businesses need to stay informed about these developments to effectively align their sustainability strategies with emerging global trends. #CarbonPricing #ClimateFinance #Sustainability #ClimateAction #Carbon360 #EnvironmentalImpact

In his Amplify article, Ghulam Sorwar discusses the use of both existing and new tools by financial institutions and governments to address climate issues. He suggests the importance of coordinated local initiatives, while simultaneously warning against manipulative practices which seem beneficial but are not.
