• Abstract: This paper presents a comprehensive study leveraging Support Vector Machine (SVM) regression and Principal Component Regression (PCR) to analyze carbon dioxide emissions in a global dataset of 62 countries and their dependence on idiosyncratic, country-specific parameters. The objective is to understand the factors contributing to carbon dioxide emissions and identify the most predictive elements. The analysis provides country-specific emission estimates, highlighting diverse national trajectories and pinpointing areas for targeted interventions in climate change mitigation, sustainable development, and the growing carbon credit markets and green finance sector. The study aims to support policymaking with accurate representations of carbon dioxide emissions, offering nuanced information for formulating effective strategies to address climate change while informing initiatives related to carbon trading and environmentally sustainable investments.

  A carbon market is a market-based tool that incentivizes economic agents to align individual profits with the global utility. We propose an adaptive mechanism design framework, simulating the market using hierarchical, model-free multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) Numerical results show MARL enables government agents to balance productivity, equality, and carbon emissions.
