Carbon markets can accelerate action to achieve climate targets. Carbon credits incentivize investment in projects that remove, reduce or avoid emissions (e.g. reforestation and direct air capture and storage projects), and trade in both the primary and secondary markets. Carbon credit insurance can help protect buyers, sellers and investors of carbon credits from the numerous risks they face due to the rapid development of the carbon markets, multiple standards and the varied nature of projects.

Why insure carbon credits?

Enhances stakeholder confidence in carbon credits
Provides increased lending capacity
Facilitates financing of carbon projects
Balance sheet protection
