However, much of the current ways in which the carbon credit market currently operates are based on incentivizing companies to pollute less, rather than individuals: companies must purchase carbon credits if they wish to pollute, and with fewer carbon credits issued each year, it becomes gradually more expensive for companies to pollute - this is one of the tools that Western governments are using to reach their 2030 “net zero” targets.
