Through our research agenda, we inform discourse regarding the urgent need to deploy zero and negative emissions technologies and the optimal use of carbon markets. Our research outputs are designed to inform more ambitious policy, commitments and practice, accelerate corporate and industrial emission reductions alongside whole-of-economy reductions and removals and advance high integrity carbon crediting frameworks that deliver enduring co-benefits.
Launched in 2024, the ‘Carbon Markets & Australia’s Net Zero Challenge’ report is the latest addition to CMI’s ongoing research initiative.
The report is the first in a new annual series that examines how Australia’s carbon market is evolving, with the latest insights from a range of experts, including decarbonisation researchers, nature specialists, corporate lawyers, carbon market participants, financial market specialists, technology specialists, and decarbonisation advisors.
Across 10 chapters, the 2024 report explores supply and demand forecasts, current integrity developments and challenges, linkages with nature repair, as well as key developments in market infrastructure.
The Carbon Farming Scorecard provides an annual pulse-check on Australia’s carbon farming frameworks and policies at both a national, and sub-national level. Produce in partnership with KPMG, the Scorecard has demonstrated a clear forward trajectory year-on-year in all jurisdiction. While substantial policy gains have occurred since the inaugural scorecard, the 2024 Scorecard showed that progress is slowing but significant opportunities remain.
View the 2024 results below, and access previous year’s scorecards.
