Carbon markets can be defined as markets on which "carbon credits" are sold and bought, either on a voluntary basis or on a compliance basis. Many countries consider them as playing a key role in addressing the climate crisis and transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

Guillaume Poupy is a graduate of the French engineering school Ecole Polytechnique with a specialization in biology. He began his career in the water treatment industry in Doha, Qatar, before becoming a consultant in Sustainable Development at Deloitte for six years, where he advised companies of all industries into their Sustainable Development approaches.
His career took a different direction when he decided to join, as Chief Financial Officer, an innovative start-up dedicated to 3D printing eventually bought by BASF.
