Carbon Market Governance
Compliance carbon markets are governed by their respective jurisdictional authorities – national, regional or state governments (see Cap-and-trade systems/compliance markets for details). Due to its nature, the voluntary carbon market is not regulated by any single jurisdictional authority. However, there are some private sector-led initiatives seeking to provide greater standardisation and integrity to the system and to help the private sector make robust contributions to meeting the climate challenge.
