Global carbon markets' total value increased 9 percent to €48.4bn ($52.6bn) in 2015, boosted by North American markets, which grew 121 percent in terms of volume and 220 percent in terms of value, according to Thomson Reuters' annual Carbon Market Monitor.

Thomas Reuters forecasts global carbon markets will continue to grow in 2016, with the overall value of carbon markets to growing by a quarter this year.

CFOs across the globe are heeding the call to better manage what tomorrow's world looks like," The Climate Trust executive director Sean Penrith said. He cites Tata Consultancy research that finds "CFOs are redrafting their approach to risk, moving from a stance of risk-averse to risk-ready instead."
