- Carbon
Carbon is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic
number 6. As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic
and tetravalent—making four electrons available to
form covalent chemical
bonds. There are three naturally occurring isotopes, with 12C
and 13C
being stable, while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life
of about 5730 years.
Carbon is one of the few
elements known since antiquity.
The name "carbon" comes from Latin language carbo, coal.

- Carbon Accounting
Umbrella term referring to the act of measuring and reporting on an organization's greenhouse gas emissions.
Carbon accounting procedures typically aim to measure and report on the
emissions that a company is directly responsible for, but they can also track
emissions that result from a firm's supply chain and the activities of its
partners, customers and staff.
The practice is widely regarded as an essential first step towards cutting
carbon emissions.
However, critics have argued that its effectiveness is undermined by an
absence of international standards, which means that carbon calculations can be
undertaken differently from organization to organization.

- Carbon Fraud
Carbon Fraud is an aspect of global carbon markets.
Basically due to weak certification and validation processes in carbon markets, it is often quite easy to operate a 'fake' carbon offsetting business; i.e. claiming to run an offshore forest preservation scheme generating carbon credits when no such thing exists in reality (i.e. just pocket the money).
Also, due to the difficult nature of assessing exactly how much carbon some scheme or process offsets, you can also get fraud through over estimating the amount of carbon offset.
It is understood in some regions that organized crime has got involved in carbon markets, and that some markets have had to be suspended to investigate systematic fraud.

- Carbon Leakage
The theory that policy measures designed to reduce CO2 emissions in one
country or region will result in an increase in emissions in another country as
carbon intensive firms relocate to areas with less demanding environmental
regulations.
For example, it is feared that steel plants and other heavy industries faced
with planned carbon pricing regulations in the US may move their operations to
countries such as China or India that do not have carbon pricing schemes in an
attempt to avoid increased costs.
As a result, carbon emissions could simply "leak" from one country to
another, resulting in no net reduction in emissions.
The Kyoto Protocol and the EU Emissions Trading Scheme have both been accused
of causing carbon leakage, although there is little solid evidence as yet of
firms relocating solely as a result of carbon regulations.
One of the primary drivers for a global agreement to tackle climate change is
the hope that an international deal would remove the risk of carbon leakage by
establishing comparable carbon regulations for all countries.

A Carbon Market is a market created from the trading of carbon emission allowances to encourage or help countries and companies to limit their carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. This is also known as emissions or carbon trading. Carbon emissions trading is a way of offsetting greenhouse gases produced by polluters.
Under Carbon trading, a country having more emissions of carbon is able to purchase the right to emit more and the country having less emission trades the right to emit carbon to other countries.

About carbon.
- Carbon Pollution
Carbon is the chemical element with symbol C and atomic
number 6. As a member of group 14 on the periodic table, it is nonmetallic
and tetravalent—making four electrons available to
form covalent chemical
bonds. There are three naturally occurring isotopes, with 12C
and 13C
being stable, while 14C is radioactive, decaying with a half-life
of about 5730 years.
Carbon is one of the few
elements known since antiquity.
The name "carbon" comes from Latin language carbo, coal.
