💲 What’s the going rate for different carbon projects in the VCM? The difficulty in confidently answering this question drove Abatable to release carbon market pricing data for free as part of our new intelligence platform! As Anton Jidkov explains in our latest blog article, our pricing tools help users benchmark carbon market prices and are ultimately designed to offer more transparency to the market.

🇰🇭 Cambodia has landed in third place in this year’s VCM Investment Attractiveness Index from Abatable! 📊 The country's wide array of flora and fauna, supported by varied ecosystems including the Tonle Sap Lake, the Mekong River floodplains and the Cardamom Mountains, provides a solid foundation for developing carbon projects that align with Cambodia's climate mitigation goals and biodiversity conservation efforts. This has led Cambodia to score highly in the Index’s Climate, nature and people opportunity pillar. Cambodia also stands out under our Global carbon market readiness pillar due to its proactive engagement with Article 6. It is one of the handful of countries with an Article 6 regulatory framework and has signed Memoranda of Understanding with Singapore and Japan for carbon trading. This has positioned the country as an early mover in bilateral carbon market mechanisms which, in turn, enhances its attractiveness to international investors and project developers.

🇰🇪 A country rich in lowland and mountain forests, grasslands, and wetlands, Kenya continues to hold a prominent position in Abatable’s VCM Investment Attractiveness Index, ranking in second place this year! 📊 Kenya’s continued positive performance – it topped our Index in 2023 – stems primarily from its engagement with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, as well as from a favourable supply of in-demand carbon credits. The country issued approximately 20% of Africa’s total carbon credits from 2016 to 2021. Kenya stands out as one of the few African countries – alongside Rwanda, Ghana, Tanzania, and Zambia – to have established an Article 6 regulatory framework, positioning it at the forefront of international Article 6 engagement. This development, paired with strong governmental support, including Kenya’s President actively promoting carbon credits as a significant export, further enhances Kenya’s attractiveness in the sector.
