Carbon markets have developed to facilitate trade in carbon credits and help to mitigate climate change in a cost-effective way.
Carbon markets help channel resources and lower costs to provide companies the platform to move towards low-carbon transition.
Bursa Malaysia launched the Bursa Carbon Exchange (BCX), which is a voluntary carbon market (VCM) and the world’s first shariah-compliant carbon exchange in December 2022. Malaysia's first Bursa Carbon Exchange (BCX) will enable companies to trade voluntary carbon credits from climate-friendly projects and solutions to offset their emission footprint and meet climate goals.
In this one-day programme, participants will learn about the different types of carbon markets and how it functions. Participants will also be exposed to policies around climate change including proposals related to carbon taxes and cap and trade scheme adopted by governments to combat climate change. Participants will also learn about decarbonisation strategies, how they relate financial institutions and their corporate clients, what are the risks and opportunities and how to implement them across the organization.
