Developing countries just bypassed the carbon market middlemen

The World Bank tested a new way for low-income countries to create and sell carbon credits. This system made the process much faster and cheaper than before, helping these countries get over $50 million for clean energy projects and build their own carbon market rules.

The old system for carbon credits was slow and expensive, often too complex for developing nations. This new approach cuts down on paperwork and combines verification steps, making it easier to get projects approved and financed. This means more money can flow into clean energy in places that need it most, without getting bogged down in bureaucracy.
