The paper discusses carbon credits as a market-based mechanism to reduce carbon emissions, focusing on their operation, benefits, and challenges. It explains how carbon credits, tradable emission permits, work within a cap-and-trade system, incentivizing firms to reduce emissions at minimal costs. While they encourage clean energy investment, the paper highlights challenges such as price volatility, market inequality, and carbon leakage. The author uses economic models to quantify the impact of carbon trading on global GDP, concluding that carbon credits offer economic and environmental benefits, but require improved market design and global cooperation to overcome existing issues.

The paper discusses ecotourism, focusing on its role in balancing environmental protection and economic development. It highlights the implementation of ecotourism in Costa Rica, where a significant portion of land is protected and ecotourism practices support both conservation and local communities. The paper also examines the role of technological innovations like AI and IoT in creating "smart ecotourism," which enhances visitor experiences and promotes sustainable practices. Additionally, it addresses the socioeconomic impact of ecotourism, noting how it generates employment and preserves local culture. While ecotourism offers benefits, the paper calls for further research to address potential negative impacts and improve practices.
