Global and local carbon markets are analysed, in addition to future trends and strategies. The current scenario in South Africa is discussed, with specific reference to proposed taxes and pricing mechanism options for carbon. The second component of the course assists learners who want to develop their own carbon projects or advise others on carbon project development as it relates to costs, timelines and processes.
