Columbia CGEP Report: Regulatory Frameworks for Project-Based Carbon Credit Markets in G20 Countries

Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy released a new report examining how G20 countries and Singapore regulate project-based carbon credit markets. The analysis covers 20 national frameworks, comparing how each country sets rules for credit issuance, verification, and trading. This is a practical look at the regulatory landscape that determines whether carbon credits actually deliver real emission reductions. The report comes as voluntary carbon markets face growing scrutiny over quality and integrity. By mapping out the rules across major economies, it gives project developers, investors, and policymakers a clearer picture of where standards align and where they diverge. The full report is worth reading for anyone tracking how carbon credit regulation is evolving at the national level.
