The claim presents the six countries as a uniform group 'putting carbon prices in place', but the instruments differ substantially in maturity: South Korea (K-ETS, mandatory since 2015) and China (national ETS since 2021) are operational, whereas Japan's GX-ETS is largely voluntary and Türkiye's national ETS is still in a pilot/preparatory phase (pilot launch anticipated 2026).
Morocco's carbon pricing is a partial carbon tax on certain fossil fuels and an ETS still under preparation with World Bank support; it is not a fully operational nationwide ETS, so the claim's framing of a uniform trend slightly overstates the situation.
The list is selective — many other jurisdictions also have or are developing carbon pricing, and some major emitters do not; the rhetorical 'list keeps growing' is a political framing rather than a verifiable datum.
Direct explicit confirmation of Morocco and Japan within a single source listing all six countries could not be obtained within the available searches.
