Sequestration in Developing Countries under Double Carbon Targets

On the whole, the development of the secondary carbon sink financial market is of
great significance in promoting carbon emission reduction, promoting the construction
of ecological civilization, and enhancing the transparency and standardization of carbon
sink projects. It is hoped that in the future development, the carbon sink financial mar-
ket will be more perfect and make greater contribution to the protection and improve-
ment of the ecological environment.

3.1.2 The role of secondary market in carbon sink finance
1) Improving liquidity
In the area of carbon sink finance, improving liquidity is a crucial part. The sec-
ondary market plays an important role in this process. First, the secondary market
provides a wider circulation channel for carbon sink assets, so that the value of carbon
sink assets can more accurately reflect the relationship between supply and demand in
the market. By providing more buying and selling opportunities, the secondary market
can facilitate the pricing process of carbon sink assets, thus improving the effectiveness
and transparency of the market. In addition, the secondary market also provides inves-
tors with more flexible trading options, enabling them to better adjust their investment
portfolios to adapt to changes in the market and adjustments in risk appetite. Secondly,
the existence of secondary market helps to increase the liquidity of carbon sink finan-
cial market. Liquidity is one of the key elements for the healthy development of the
market. It can improve the stability and anti-risk ability of the market. The existence of
secondary market makes it easier for investors to buy and sell carbon sink assets, thus
reducing the liquidity risk of asset holdings. This increase in liquidity is not only bene-
ficial to market participants, but also beneficial to the carbon sink project itself, because
it improves the market recognition and attraction of carbon sink assets, thus attracting
more investment and resources into the carbon sink field, and promoting the healthy
development of the carbon sink market.
2) price discovery and transparency
Price discovery is a process in the market through which market participants can
determine the market price of a particular commodity or asset. In the field of carbon
sink finance, price discovery is crucial to establish the value of carbon sink. The value
of carbon sinks is closely related to their potential contribution to climate change mit-
igation, which is often difficult to quantify and measure directly. Through secondary
market transactions, market participants can determine the price of carbon sinks based
on supply-demand relationship and other market factors, thus reflecting their actual
