Nations at COP29 on Monday agreed new ground rules for a global carbon market that would reward countries for reducing emmissions by giving them "carbon credits" they could sell to higher-polluting countries. COP29 president Mukhtar Babayev said the agreement was a "breakthrough" but more negotiations are needed to develop the UN-backed plan.
