Carbon Credit : A Beginner’s Guide- Demystifying the Carbon Economy

The carbon economy is no longer a niche topic — it sits at the very heart of global climate action,
sustainable business, and green finance.
Yet, for many — students, entrepreneurs, professionals, and even board members — the world of
carbon credits remains complex, jargon-heavy, and difficult to navigate. This book bridges that gap.
Carbon Credit: A Beginner’s Guide – Demystifying the Carbon Economy simplifies this complexity and
provides a clear, engaging introduction to the world of carbon markets and climate action. Written
in simple, lucid and straightforward language, it explains how carbon credits work, why they matter,
and how individuals and businesses can benefit from them. ISBN (Paperback): 978-93-343-6282-4
This comprehensive guide takes readers through the entire carbon credit ecosystem, starting with
the science behind greenhouse gas emissions and the global response to climate change. It explains
how carbon credits are created, verified, traded, and regulated, and explores the difference
between compliance and voluntary markets. Readers will gain insights into key players, registries,
and methodologies that drive carbon projects, as well as financing instruments like ESG-linked
initiatives and green bonds.
The book also highlights emerging technologies such as digital MRV, blockchain, and carbon capture,
and examines India’s carbon journey — from national policies and startups to rural projects that
generate offsets and support sustainable livelihoods. Real-world examples, infographics, and case
studies bring complex concepts to life and make learning engaging and practical.
Designed for readers at all stages of the learning curve, this guide is equally valuable for beginners
and practitioners in finance, sustainability, policymaking, agriculture, and development. It also helps
businesses, farmers, entrepreneurs, and professionals understand how to participate in and benefit
from the fast-growing carbon economy.
