Frequently asked questions

#What is the Carbon Knowledge Hub?

This public web platform aims to provide companies and other players with the knowledge required to understand the carbon markets. The material is devised to appeal to a range of levels of expertise so beginners can learn how carbon trading works in the Basics and learn the jargon in the Dictionary. More knowledgeable users can delve into the Factsheets on more advanced topics like the intricacies of Article 6 and the varied factors determining the price of a voluntary offset. Another key component of the Carbon Knowledge Hub is the Stories section. These are commentaries and interviews on the views and experiences of carbon market experts.

The Carbon Knowledge Hub is part of the Carbon Centre of Excellence, which is one of the legacy programs of B20 Indonesia that aim to create a foundation for lasting, positive impacts across the G20 countries. B20 Indonesia is the official G20 dialogue forum with the global business community.
