Carbon Trading in Sri Lanka .....

Asia Carbon Net is a project developed under EML consultants in year 2004 to allow the enhancement of the capacity among the Sri Lanka enterprises interested in participating CDM projects and Voluntary carbon markets with the ultimate aim of providing services to mitigate the effects of Global warming recognized by the UNFCCC.

Asia Carbon Net's main objective is to bring healthy environment and safe shelter to the country as the people of Sri Lanka are exposed to dangerous levels of outdoor and indoor air pollution due to environmental degradation and natural disasters. To achieve this objective the management will work continuously to improve the quality and standards of life in Sri Lanka by supporting our Carbon Trade Exchange clients.

Carbon Trading is a process that had been endeavored by the Kyoto Protocol. Signatory Nations have pledged to reduce their carbon emission levels to 1990 levels and the process is in operation since 2007. The mechanism of inter government working arrangements are worked out and the Government of Sri Lanka is also actively participating. Non-signatories to the Kyoto protocol with the corporate sectors also have actively pursued trading as well.
