Abstract:: U.S. companies are leaving money on the table. Many have been avoiding participating in emerging carbon markets and are opting to wait for a US federal regulation, but time is of the essence.

Financial managers are under more competitive pressure than ever to reduce costs, gain efficiencies, leverage assets and mitigate risks. Companies need to be ready and ahead of their competition when federal regulations are in place.

This paper digs into the many challenges companies will face around the growth of carbon markets. It discusses the ways US companies are already participating in the global carbon markets and highlights that the UK is unique in its open market perspective, paving the way and allowing non-Kyoto signatories to participate in the global carbon market through the Clean Development Mechanism.
