On this podcast, we often hear how achieving the low-carbon transition on a global scale will require a mix of solutions. Carbon markets are one key tool available to companies and countries.

In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we bring you part one of a two-part miniseries on carbon markets. We dig into voluntary and compliance markets, including how they're structured and used, how they're evolving, and the challenges and opportunities ahead.

We talk with Roman Kramarchuk, Head of Climate Policy and Market Analytics in the Research & Analytics business at S&P Global Commodity Insights. He explains how carbon markets have expanded around the world in recent years — and how that growth is expected to continue.

"We've got a quarter of the world's emissions now covered by some form of carbon price, and that number is only going to go up," Roman says.
