THE POTENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF CARBON MARKETS IN ASIA AND AFRICA IN ACHIEVING GLOBAL CARBON NEUTRALITY

Although carbon regulation is situational and immature on the global agenda, it is clearly be-coming the dominant factor of competitiveness in foreign markets. As a result, the role of the introduction of carbon units for economic growth in the coming years will increase rapidly, espe-cially for countries in which the domestic market of carbon units is not sufficiently deficient. The article examines the current problems and prospects for the development of carbon markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, such as the lack of an institutional regulatory system, lack of infrastructure and control over carbon markets, but nevertheless which have a fairly high potential for development in the global economy.
