Well, not yet. But on October 11, a UN expert group reached a compromise on key elements of a global carbon trading system. If it passes (we go into this, don’t worry), it will resolve nearly a decade of talks on a what is seen as a fundamental tool for the Paris Agreement to be achieved. Im this episode we discuss why this agreement is so important, and what it will do to the already up and running carbon markets.

The carbon markets allow companies to purchase credits to offset their carbon footprint until long-term reduction plans become a reality. We take a look at these markets and try to understand how they impact investors, companies and our future.
