Position for Carbon Trading Expert

The last 150 years of hectic economic activity have witnessed excessive exploitation of environmental resources. The wastage produced mainly the gaseous constituents have imposed great stress on the bearing capacity of nature. The fallout of such unbridled economic activity with no control over emissions is causing Global Warming and Climate Change. The existence of mankind on the planet has come to stake due to this anthropogenic tinkering. The recent resurgence of world, to contain this disaster, has focused on negating the level of Green House Gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere. Several regulatory and voluntary frameworks have been initiated to make the process cost effective so that the current level of development is not compromised and subsequently carried on in a sustainable manner.

Carbon trading has come out as an effective mechanism wherein the carbon credits (credits from major GHGs) produced from various mitigation and sequestration projects are traded. Developing countries are playing a crucial role in the Carbon Trading through hosting majority of such projects. These initiatives along with providing environmental benefits substantially assist the society in economic and social appraisal.

Agricultural Finance Corporation Ltd. has traditionally played a crucial role in integrating the financial world with rural and other weaker sections especially in the agri and forestry segment. AFCL has been operating at the grass root level and assisting in the various stages of development in these sectors.
