Brazil is moving forward with plans to establish a national carbon registry within the next 15 months, a move set to underpin its upcoming emissions trading system (ETS), the Sistema Brasileiro do Comércio de Emissões (SBCE). The registry will serve as the core infrastructure enabling project developers to register carbon initiatives and will be central to the country’s efforts to participate more actively in global carbon markets.

Verra, the world’s largest environmental standards body, has teamed up with S&P Global Commodity Insights to build a new generation carbon registry. The initiative is designed to strengthen transparency, scalability, and trust in carbon markets—elements long seen as essential for their growth.

China is preparing to overhaul its national carbon market by introducing absolute emission caps in selected industries starting in 2027. The move, announced by the State Council on 25 August, represents a major departure from the current system, which regulates pollution based on carbon intensity rather than fixed limits.
