Carbon markets involve complex governance challenges, such as ensuring transparency of emissions, facilitating as well as recording transactions, overseeing market activity and preventing abuse. Conventionally, these have been addressed with a combination of regulatory, procedural and technical structures that impose significant burdens on market participants and administrators while remaining vulnerable to system shocks and illicit practices. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has the potential to address these problems. This volume offers the first book-length exploration of how carbon markets can be governed using DLT, offering conceptual and theoretical analysis, practical case studies, and a roadmap for implementation of a DLT-based architecture in major existing and emerging carbon markets. It surveys existing expertise on distributed ledger technology, provides progress updates from industry professionals, and shows how this technology could offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution to double-counting and other governance concerns identified as major challenges in the implementation of carbon markets.

'A carefully researched book on carbon market mechanisms that builds on two separate research themes of legal-institutional design and emerging technologies in addressing the underlying regulatory and institutional implications. The book offers innovative and ingenious analysis by combining the two themes with practical conclusions and recommendations. Governing Carbon Markets with Distributed Ledger Technology discusses the crypto-legal structure that can support the decentralization of carbon market governance.' Satya S. Tripathi, Secretary-General, Global Alliance for a Sustainable Planet; former United Nations Assistant Secretary General (UNEP)
