CMAI works to strengthen India's carbon-market ecosystem and environmental incentive frameworks by connecting policymakers, regulators, industry and international stakeholders. We facilitate informed policy dialogue, promote market readiness and help organisations understand emerging regulations, mechanisms and opportunities across domestic and international environmental markets.
CMAI facilitates structured engagement with government ministries, regulatory authorities, policymakers and industry stakeholders to support the development and implementation of effective environmental market frameworks. By consolidating industry feedback, identifying regulatory challenges and developing policy recommendations, we work to create an enabling environment for investment, innovation and industry participation in carbon markets and broader environmental initiatives.
CMAI supports stakeholders in understanding India's Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), Voluntary Carbon Markets (VCM) and international carbon cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, including Articles 6.2, 6.4 and 6.8. Through technical discussions, policy insights and stakeholder engagement, we help organisations assess applicable requirements, understand market mechanisms and identify potential pathways to participate in domestic and international carbon markets.
CMAI promotes environmental incentive mechanisms that encourage measurable environmental performance and create opportunities for businesses to derive value from sustainability initiatives. Our focus includes carbon credits, the Green Credit Programme (GCP), Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), plastic credits and emerging biodiversity-credit opportunities. We facilitate awareness, stakeholder collaboration and market development to help industries understand relevant frameworks, assess eligibility and explore opportunities for environmental value creation.
