It is a good e-book if you wish to have a general image on the Carbon markets. The e-book gives summary of how the carbon markets were formed, why and how. Nevertheless, do not anticipate finding any finance associated chapters within the e book, resembling an in depth description of how devices are structured, or on how to implement carbon devices in precise projects. Nevertheless, this book is great as an introduction, and is a must read earlier than happening to more complicated text. My solely drawback with the e-book was its title, which gave me the impression that the e book will likely be rather more concentrated on the “monetary” part of carbon trading.
