- Both or Undecided Under Consideration/Development
Carbon pricing instruments are considered "Implemented" once they have been formally adopted through legislation and compliance obligations are in force and enforced; "Under development" if the government is actively working towards the implementation of a specific carbon pricing instrument, a mandate may have been established, but regulated entities do not yet face compliance obligations, and this has been formally confirmed by official government sources; or "Under consideration" if the government has announced its intention to work towards the implementation of a carbon pricing instrument and this has been formally confirmed by official government sources. An "Abolished" instrument is one that has previously met the definition of "Implemented" but is no longer in place. *The UK left the EU ETS but electricity generators in Northern Ireland are still subject to obligations.

- 80-100% (1000+ Mt CO2-e)
For each jurisdiction the main price rate (covering the largest volume of emissions in the jurisdiction) is shown, subject to any filters applied.
Prices are not directly comparable due to differences in coverage, compliance and compensation arrangements. Prices are on 1 April, or latest available prior to 1 April each year. Note that some jurisdictions have multiple instruments in place. For example, Poland has a carbon tax but is also covered by the EU ETS. Coverage estimates for subnational Mexico carbon taxes are based on the national share of emissions for the sectors covered. Coverage figures for ETSs and carbon taxes that overlap are adjusted downwards to avoid double counting. Emission coverage figures are based on jurisdictions' latest available emissions data.

Governmental Crediting Mechanisms
Governmental Crediting Mechanisms
Development
Government-Administrated Carbon Crediting Mechanisms Around the World, 2026
Map shows administering jurisdictions with relevant carbon credit mechanisms implemented, under development or under consideration.
Canada
- Implemented
- Under Consideration/Development
Carbon crediting mechanisms are classified according to the type of organization that administers them:
- International: Includes mechanisms established under international treaties and administered by international organizations.
- Independent: Includes standards and crediting mechanisms administered by independent, non-governmental entities.
- Governmental: Includes mechanisms administered by one or several regional, national, or subnational governments.
This map reflects the jurisdictions that administer carbon crediting mechanisms. As such it only shows governmental carbon crediting mechanisms, since international and independent mechanisms are not administered by jurisdictions. For information on host countries see 'Issuance' map.
Governmental carbon crediting mechanisms differ based on status: Crediting mechanisms are considered "Implemented" if they have issued credits (or have frameworks in place to allow credits to be used domestically, such as in South Africa). Crediting mechanisms are considered "Under development/consideration" if the government is actively working towards the implementation of a specific carbon crediting mechanism, and this has been formally confirmed by official government sources. An "Abolished" mechanism is one that has previously met the definition of 'Implemented' but is no longer in place.

| Colombia Crediting Mechanism | Implemented | 2017 | National | Colombia | Latin America & Caribbean | Upper middle income | Variable. Carbon Tax´s tariff is currently set at COP29.070,49 per tCO2e for 2026 and for 2025, the rate in force throughout that year was COP$27,399.14 per tCO2e. This is an implicit maximum price for credits sold for carbon tax offsetting mechanism purposes because those liable to the tax who opt for the exemption will choose credits that are below the current carbon tax rate. According to AlliedOffsets' Dashboard prepared for the Pacific Alliance, however, the average price offered (regardless of the purpose of sale) per credit is USD$6.98 since 2017, but the average for 2025 is USD$4,55. Prices vary mainly according to the project sector, but also due to other factors, such as credits vintage. |

The color of each country indicates the amount of cumulative original issuances up until the selected year. Original issuances refer to those issuances that are unique to a specific crediting mechanism, occur for the first time and do not rely on any previous issuances from other crediting mechanisms.
* These issuance numbers include non-original issuances, which are shown for reference but not reflected in heat map colors.

Agreements on Cooperative Approaches
Show each agreement on Cooperative approaches between buyer and seller countries.
Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement sets out the framework for international compliance carbon market where Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) are traded bilaterally with corresponding adjustment (CA) under cooperative approaches.
Corresponding adjustment is a procedure established under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement to avoid double counting. A selling (host) country that authorizes the transfer of mitigation must increase its reported emissions by the amount transferred. Carbon credits transferred with a CA cannot be counted toward the host/ seller country's NDC.
Footnotes:
* Indicates agreements that have been bilaterally authorized for transfer of ITMOs
Agreements signed by Japan and Australia with seller countries as part of JCM and IPCOS respectively are not included in this list but instead under government crediting mechanisms, because while these agreements are Article 6-aligned, they are not explicitly Article 6.2 agreements. With JCM, there are several agreements that pre-date Paris Agreement and credits / ITMOs generated as part of the mechanism will be shared by both Japan and seller country.
