Pakistan Policy Guidelines for Trading in Carbon Markets 2025

The Pakistan Policy Guidelines for Trading in Carbon Markets (2025) aim to set the stage for the establishment of carbon markets, and provide a roadmap for their early development and operation. The document is underpinned by commitment to the Paris Agreement, and adherence to international best practice in carbon trading. It emphasises the importance of nature-based carbon projects, for their social and environmental synergies. These guidelines include an implementation mechanism which calls for the establishment of a national carbon registry, a carbon market working group and a national monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system.
