Latin American Carbon Forum

 

 

Background

The Latin American Carbon Forum (LACF) is a regional platform established  to promote knowledge and information sharing while facilitating business-opportunity environments among main carbon market stakeholders. The LACF is organized in a yearly basis by a partnership among the WB, IETA, OLADE and the UNEP Risí¸ Centre.

The V LACF will be held on October 13, 14 and 15, 2010 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.

Building on the successful run of the

Latin American Carbon Forum in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009, more than 400 local, regional and international participants from private and public sectors are expected to attend the 4th edition of this knowledge sharing forum.
 

Objectives

The core objective of the LACF is to bring together main actors of the carbon market (owners and project developers, national Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) offices; Investment Promotion Agencies, Designated National Authorities (DNAs), service providers and intermediary companies) in order to share experiences on the integral process of CDM projects, learn about the latest developments of emission trading schemes and the future of the CDM, analyze national and international climate change mitigation policies and facilitate the negotiation of emissions.

Carbon TradeEx America Trade Show & Conference

Carbon TradeEx America is the leading Trade Show and Conference in North America serving international business, finance, technology, venture capital, government communities in abatement, trading, monitoring, crediting and compliance of carbon emissions. Industry, technology and service providers in the carbon business as well as government agencies from developing countries will be among the exhibitors.

The tradeshow and conference is designed as a “hands on” program for professionals in environmental management positions working on strategic planning and investing, energy efficiency improvements, compliance programs, performance benchmarking and market and finance monitoring. The inclusion of EMA into this event has broadened the platform for this event as it now addresses not only Carbon but all environmental markets including SO2, NOx, RECs and GHG.

  • “Investment Opportunities” will focus on subjects such as investment risk in climate change, success stories in voluntary offsets projects, the correct use of market standards, dos and don’ts in energy trading and an insight how renewables match against other energy sources.
  • “Market Insight” will examine the role of forestry and agricultural offsets, provide an outlook on the NAFTA offsetting scheme and insights into current business opportunities in existing environmental markets.
  • “Business Strategies”, a new conference track added for the first time, will examine strategies of the transport sector, the effects of Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) replacement rule, EPA newest proposals on regulating GHG, SO2 and NOx emissions and the impact of the RPS on the renewable industry.

3rd Annual Ecosystem Markets Conference

Conference Summary

Using markets to protect and restore ecosystems – and the many services they provide – is gradually becoming a reality. But what are the critical elements for success? What progress has been made? What still needs to be done? What are the remaining challenges?

At this 3rd annual national conference, presented by the American Forest Foundation and World Resources Institute, you will hear from national and regional experts, innovators, and hands-on users of these evolving market models in a dialogue about:

  • Recent progress in developing markets
  • What transactions can be done now
  • Strategies for scaling markets
  • How these markets will affect family forests and other landowners
  • How state and regional efforts can merge into a common model

Informing Green Markets: The Roles of Industry, NGOs and Government

The Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan is accepting submissions for a conference to be held in Ann Arbor June 17-19, 2010, on the topic: “Informing Green Markets: The Roles of Industry, NGOs, and Government.”  

The due date for submission of papers is April 1, which is rapidly approaching.

Thousands of products are now marketed based in part on environmental claims. But environmental groups warn that many such claims are nothing more than greenwash.   And indeed, market research shows the vast majority of these claims are incomplete or misleading.   Certification and ecolabeling can help overcome these problems, but the current proliferation of ecolabels risks creating consumer confusion rather than clarity.   What will really work in providing buyers with reliable and comprehensive information on the environmental and social impacts of products?  

The Erb Institute is collaborating with Duke University and the Sustainability Consortium to organize this workshop, which aims to provoke a “deep dive” discussion between the private sector, the public sector, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and academia around: 1) how green markets are likely to evolve, and 2) the appropriate roles of government regulation, corporate environmental claims, and external evaluations by NGOs.  

We invite submissions of papers that address the foregoing issues.   We are open to a variety of disciplines (including economics, political science, management, marketing, sociology, psychology, and public policy) and research styles (including formal models, insightful case studies, large-N empirical work, survey research, etc.)   Specific questions of interest include:

  • What are the respective roles of purchasing agents for retailers and government, vis a vis ultimate consumers?
  • How important are green ratings for companies vs. green ratings for products?  
  • How can purchasers be assured of the credibility of the information they receive?
  • Is product labeling a complement to or a substitute for government regulation?
  • Does the recent proliferation of ecolabels improve the marketplace or merely confuse it?  
  • Is competition between ecolabels beneficial?   Will market forces work to winnow down the number of ecolabels and harmonize those that remain?  
  • Do we need government to bring order to the current chaos?

Please submit completed papers by April 1, 2010, (early drafts are acceptable) by going here and following the instructions.   Questions may be addressed to conference coordinator Karen Houghtaling [email protected] or conference organizer Thomas P. Lyon at [email protected].  

Accepted papers will be announced by April 15, 2010.
