The Johannesburg Stock Exchange is among the founding members of a global carbon market network that UN Trade and Development plans to launch at COP31 on 12 November. Casablanca Finance City and the Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority are also members, the UN body said in its 10 November announcement.

The network will bring together exchanges, financial institutions, investors and standard setters to improve how carbon markets work across borders. UN Trade and Development said differences between standards and concerns about credit quality, transparency and double counting can make investors reluctant to finance projects in developing economies.

The launch programme says the network will support Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, which allows countries to cooperate in meeting emissions goals, including through transfers of recognised emissions reductions. The session is scheduled for 9.30 a.m. local time at the Arab Climate Pavilion in Antalya.
