About Partnership for Market Implementation

Overview

The World Bank’s Partnership for Market Implementation (PMI) supports countries in designing and putting in place the policies and systems to introduce carbon pricing and participate in carbon markets—helping raise revenue, attract private investment, and drive economic development.

As demand grows, especially in the Global South, with countries moving into design and implementation and facing concrete policy choices across fiscal pressures, trade and competitiveness, and energy security, PMI is stepping up as a global hub for knowledge and innovation, offering operational tools, data, and technical expertise co-developed with partners to help countries put solutions into practice.

Country-focused technical assistance

PMI now supports a growing platform of 38 countries—collectively accounting for more than half of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Its flexible and country-driven model facilitates rapid and targeted support at different stages of carbon pricing and market development, from early diagnostics and policy design to systems operationalization.

A global convening platform

PMI also provides a global convening platform, bringing together countries, development partners and technical experts, and market actors to exchange experience and advance the practical implementation of carbon pricing and markets. It supports countries in moving forward from ambition to action by clarifying policy choices, identifying next steps, and addressing implementation constraints in real-world contexts.

A knowledge & innovation hub

Year after year, PMI delivers global data and analytics—including the annual State and Trends of Carbon Pricing report and the Carbon Pricing Dashboard—and connects practitioners and policymakers through flagship platforms such as the Global Knowledge Forum and Innovate4Climate. PMI’s Knowledge Center brings together operational tools, guidance, country experiences, and resources developed with partners and informed by evolving global policies and markets. It provides a centralized platform for countries to access and apply PMI’s global knowledge and practical experience.
