BULLETIN Nº 1: State of Carbon Markets in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)
Abstract
Historically, entrepreneurs in Latin America
and the Caribbean (LAC) have played an
important role as providers of carbon credits
for Nature Based Solutions (SBN) projects.
In that same year, turnover in the global voluntary market totaled
US$748 million (a 134% growth compared to
2019), with Latin America accounting for
around 20% of the market share, leading the
offer of carbon credits in the global voluntary
market through SBN projects.
This CAF initiative of Market Observatory ILACC’s
Carbon Program is to act as a market
intelligence tool that supports the LAC private
sector in monitoring and making decisions
that allow it to mitigate the risks of loss of
competitiveness vis-à-vis other regions and
expand its capacity for innovation in solutions.
