Why This Compendium?
With many actors now offering guidance on carbon markets, there is a recognized need for coordination. This compendium ensures developers, consultants, policymakers, and support programmes are aware of available knowledge products — avoiding duplication of effort and enabling stakeholders to build on existing resources rather than reinvent the wheel.
