Carbon credit trading platforms are digital and financial marketplaces where carbon credits—representing the reduction or removal of one metric ton of CO₂ or equivalent greenhouse gases—are bought, sold, or traded. These platforms facilitate compliance with carbon emission regulations and support voluntary carbon offset initiatives.

The global market is driven by stricter environmental regulations, growing corporate sustainability commitments, rising investments in carbon offset projects, and increasing awareness of climate change mitigation strategies.
