The Environment Ministry is working with the EGX on a proposal to set up a platform that would allow companies to buy and sell carbon credits, Al Mal quoted EGX Chairman Mohamed Farid as saying. The proposal will soon be presented to Cabinet and the National Council for Climate Change, Farid reportedly said. Carbon credits are tradable certificates designed give companies incentives to lower emissions.
