Market snapshot
World Bank data shows carbon pricing now touches roughly one-quarter of global emissions and generated $104B in revenue during 2023, signaling CFOs cannot ignore rising carbon costs even in voluntary markets.1
The U.S. EPA’s 2024 greenhouse-gas inventory still records 5.5B metric tons of CO₂e nationwide for 2022, while NOAA counted 28 separate U.S. weather disasters topping $92B in 2023—numbers that make climate risk a mainstream finance problem.2
Policy catalysts are forcing action: the U.S. SEC’s March 2024 climate disclosure rule, California SB 253/SB 261, and the EU’s CSRD together require thousands of companies to produce auditable emissions numbers and transition plans starting in 2025.3
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) earmarks $369B for decarbonization incentives, and the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office has more than $412B of loan authority still available—capital that corporate sustainability teams now treat like a financing stack alongside tax credits and private deals.4
