The notion of carbon markets as a way of green finance is rapidly gaining traction around the world. It hopes to ensure that the capital infusion through carbon markets helps smallholder farmers increase incomes while transitioning to more resilient ways of production. C-GEM is a new centre within the Aga Khan Rural Support Programme India (AKRSPI) which is working with different carbon funds and project developers to ensure that farmers have an equitable representation in designing the path forward for agriculture-based carbon and other payment-for-ecosystem services markets.
