Video introductions to key C&E Market concepts, such as the Carbon Market, registry rules and verification, and an explanation of the C&E market itself will be avalable in early 2008.

The carbon and environmental (C&E) market is a response to concerns that human impacts on the climate and environment are significant and that investment needs to be directed towards avoiding, reducing and offsetting these impacts. The C&E market has evolved from regulatory mechanisms to manage pollution and resource depletion whereby parties unable to reduce their impact below set limits are required to trade allowances with those who can.

Over the past 30 years such mechanisms have given rise to trades in C&E product such as water, salinity, nutrients, biodiversity and carbon. There are four environmental markets that have emerged in Australia: Greenhouse gas or carbon markets, water supply markets, water quality markets and biodiversity markets.

FEX Climate is the only organisation solely dedicated to enabling transactions between private parties that wish to seek improvements in the full range of environmental markets that exist: greenhouse gases, water supply, water quality and biodiversity.

On the supply side FEX Climate helps subscribers understand how to get their C&E product to market, navigating the verification and registration processes necessary and raising the products profile in the market. To learn how to become a supplier of C&E product click here.

On the demand side FEX Climate provides a voluntary protocol and framework to assist subscribers to understand and communicate about the action they are taking to reduce their carbon and environmental footprint. To access the FEX Climate Voluntary Protocol for Emissions Reduction click here.

Market Intermediaries such as such as brokers, aggregators, verifiers, certifiers, technology, product and service providers can showcase their capabilities to the C&E market via our B2B directory and international media platform. To search the FEX Climate B2B directory, click here.

FEX Climate has evolved through identifying a need for an organisation in Australia and the broader Asia Pacific to join the dots between parties in the business of trading environmental commodities. FEX Climate is collaborating with companies and government bodies interested in building markets in the service of the environment.
