Carbon Markets Summit

The Carbon Markets Summit, to be held on 6-7 May 2010 in Singapore will explore the reality and drivers of the global carbon market, and offer a view into the future of the global carbon marketplace.

Most importantly, the conference aims to provide the diverse carbon-trading sector a platform to synthesize ideas and strategies to combat Post 2012, when the Kyoto Protocol ends.

Carbon markets were central to the Kyoto Protocol, which obliged developed countries that exceeded their target emissions to purchase credits from clean energy projects in the developing world. There is much uncertainty in the market now as the Copenhagen talks were unable toset targets post 2012, and the November meeting in Mexico will set the agenda for the industry as Policymakers attempt to revive climate change talks.

Despite unresolved issues facing the carbon markets, countries and industries are obligated to continue emission reduction efforts as part of the global need to address climate change. In fact, the New York Time’s Green Inc reported that the global carbon market expanded a whopping 68% to 8.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent from 2008-2009.

This means the carbon markets are here to stay and investmentswillpersist in the carbon business, making carbon credits a sought aftercommodity. That’s why attendance at international industry conferences like the Carbon Markets Summit is essential, for industry executives to come together and discusshow they can strategies to combat the carbon challenges.
