Carbon Markets

Climate Change and Carbon Markets: TRW Bangladesh Law Firm’s Global and Local Perspective

Introduction

Climate change is a pressing global issue, requiring an integrated approach to both mitigate its effects and adapt to its impacts. Carbon markets have emerged as essential mechanisms in this fight, enabling nations and businesses to address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while promoting sustainable economic growth. At TRW Bangladesh Law Firm, we combine global expertise with local insights to guide our clients in navigating these evolving markets. Our multidimensional approach ensures clients not only meet compliance requirements but also leverage carbon markets to create long-term value.


Understanding Carbon Markets: Global and Local Relevance

Carbon markets are categorized into two primary types:

  1. Regulatory Markets (Compliance Markets):
  • Operate under mandatory frameworks like the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and California’s Cap-and-Trade Program.
  • Businesses are allocated or purchase emission allowances, which they must hold in proportion to their emissions, incentivizing them to reduce GHG outputs.
  1. Voluntary Carbon Markets:
  • Companies or individuals purchase carbon credits to offset emissions voluntarily.
  • Credits are generated from projects such as renewable energy installations, reforestation, and carbon capture.

These systems address climate goals while fostering innovation and sustainability. TRW Bangladesh provides end-to-end legal and strategic support across both market types, tailoring solutions to each client’s specific context.


TRW’s Approach: A Global Perspective for Local Action

TRW’s global expertise is rooted in decades of experience in compliance and voluntary carbon markets across jurisdictions like the EU, US, China, and emerging markets in Asia and Africa. Our tailored approach ensures clients in Bangladesh benefit from international best practices while addressing local challenges.
