Carbon series - Carbon credits are no longer just a sustainability play, they’re an investment strategy.

As global markets tighten environmental regulations and corporations race toward net-zero, carbon credits are becoming an increasingly valuable asset class.
For investors, the opportunity lies in three key areas:
Rising demand – More companies need credits to offset emissions they can't eliminate.
Limited supply – High-quality, verifiable credits from nature-based or technological solutions are still scarce.
New markets and infrastructure – Digital MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) and blockchain-based registries are adding transparency and trust.
But not all carbon credits are created equal.
Due diligence matters. Investors need to look beyond volume and focus on co-benefits, permanence, and verification standards.
Those who move early and wisely could shape the future of climate finance — and realize strong returns in the process.
