COP28 Opens With Momentum on Carbon Pricing and Green Technology Deployment But Gaps on Emissions Monitoring

More places are starting to price carbon emissions, with China, India, and other countries implementing carbon markets.

Innovative partnerships are emerging to help developing nations finance green development, like the Just Energy Transition Partnerships.

Costs of green technologies like solar, batteries, and electrolyzers are rapidly falling, making them more accessible.

Accurate emissions monitoring is critical but lacking in many countries - the US and others should prioritize this at COP28.

As COP28 begins, leaders should look to scale up existing models that show promise like carbon pricing and green tech deployment.
