...Rohini Pande, an economics professor at Yale, is part of a group of academics proposing a pathway towards an international carbon market. Speaking at an event in London in September, Pande said that such a system would help secure higher and more standardised prices for carbon projects in developing countries. It would depend, she said, on having a centralised institution to oversee measurement, accounting, risk mitigation and verification to provide confidence to purchasers.
If the system worked, it would make the market more efficient for both buyers and sellers, said Pande.
“A key feature that I think is central to what we argue needs to happen if you’re going to bring nature-based projects into a market where industrial emissions are being considered is that you need to have a standardisation and you need to have identically priced emissions being traded.”
