Katoomba XIV

Tropical deforestation accounts for 20 percent of heat-trapping gas emissions worldwide. In Brazil alone, 70 percent of greenhouse gases emissions come from deforestation in the Amazon region. Forest-based carbon sequestration and REDD are gaining international attention, with Brazil on the center stage, to reduce global emissions necessary to avoid dangerous climate change. More broadly, ecosystem service payments in carbon, water and biodiversity are also becoming a key solution to ensuring the continued provision of nature's services through forests, aquatic systems, biodiversity, and carbon and nutrient cycles.

Join us to hear about the latest developments in carbon, water and biodiversity markets and discuss how they are being created and utilized to help solve some of our most critical environmental challenges.

MEETING TOPICS:

* The latest initiatives to control deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon.
* Amazon governors' presentations on the Global Climate Summit
* Launching of Mato Grosso State Forum on Climate Change
* A discussion on REDD options for the Xingu Park
* The Brazilian Amazon Fund to control deforestation and the country's official position on REDD
* How water quality trading markets can contribute to the conservation in the Amazon
* The emergence of biodiversity markets and how they can be applied in Brazil
* How to bridge the gap between current challenges and future economic and environmental solutions
* Create an infrastructure fund for the planet that will invest in our vital natural services

In particular the webinar will focus on:

Agriculture, Forestry, and other Land Uses: A Cinderella Story for the Carbon Markets?

Agriculture, forestry, and other forms of carbon based on land use and land use change have for a long time been the "ugly ducklings" of the regulated carbon markets. Not only is forestry carbon explicitly barred from being used in the world's largest carbon market, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme, but its use has been severely limited within the Kyoto Protocol and its Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). This despite the fact that forestry carbon projects have long been a mainstay of the voluntary carbon markets.

Now – with developments in California, a new President about to take office in the US, and increasing international negotiations on 'REDD' (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation) – the fate of carbon from Agriculture, Forestry, and other Land Uses (or AFOLU to use the less than sonorous VCS acronym) may be about to change.

Join us for a FREE webinar to look at what is happening around the world with respect to "AFOLU" carbon, in both the voluntary and regulated markets. The webinar (which will leave plenty of time for questions, answers and a participative discussion) will cover issues such as:

• Snapshot of the markets (particularly on forestry): volumes, values, and project types

• A look at what happened in Poznan at the recent Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Kyoto Protocol

• What is happening on AFOLU in the US, and what can be expected under an Obama Presidency

• New methodologies

• How investors might look at carbon from AFOLU projects

• What's next for AFOLU and REDD, post-Poznan

• Q & A

Panelists will include:

Gia Schneider, EKO Asset Management Partners
Steve Schwartzman, Environmental Defense Fund; and
Allison Shapiro, The Ecosystem Marketplace

The Panel will be moderated by Ricardo Bayon, EKO Asset Management Partners.

Carbon Markets Africa
