As the national debate on carbon management continues to grow, so does the range of challenges and opportunities that abound this market. Now in its second year, Carbon Markets USA will once again provide an excellent meeting point for new market entrants and key market players, as they examine and explore the latest market developments and ways to further accelerate market growth.
The 2007 inaugural Carbon Markets USA welcomed over 170 executives from across the US, UK, Europe and Latin America and featured high-level debate, discussion and analysis from a selection of leading players in government, industry and key associations involved in the region’s growing carbon market. This year’s event will continue to focus on in depth discussion and interactivity in order to get to the heart of the issues affecting the market.
The management of natural resources presents societies and economies with an enormous long-term challenge. The 9th International Sustainability Leadership Symposium will address this challenge by specifically exploring the contribution of the financial services industry to both protecting and facilitating the provision of natural resources. Opportunities and risks of new and innovative financial products will be discussed.
Market-based approaches, such as payments for biodiversity offsets and watershed services, provide effective incentives to turn private forests into even greater assets, encouraging sustainable forestry, and combating fragmentation and land use change. However, there are few positive examples of functioning markets that involve family forest owners.

Over the past 2 years there has been tremendous well documented growth in the compliance regulatory carbon markets growing from $11bn in 2005 to $24bn+ in 2006, primarily within the EU ETS and the CDM mechanism. There is, however, another large untracked market in CO2 equivalent trading in voluntary markets for carbon offsets that has also grown tremendously ($100m+).
For sellers the markets provide an avenue for carbon projects which are uneconomical via CDM/JI. For buyers the patchwork of different markets can provide risks difficult to determine. Reliable data to the true extent of all voluntary carbon offsets is difficult to find but this event will provide attendees with answers to the following questions:
What, where and how big are the voluntary carbon markets? How do they operate? What are the risks of investing in these markets? What efforts are there to standardise the markets? How will the new standards help improve the liquidity and credibility of the markets? What barriers exist to project developers in generating offsets? What are the major challenges to future growth?
This topical conference, the eighth in a highly successful series, will provide an invaluable update on all the major developments shaping the fast-moving markets in carbon credits and allowances.
Topics that will be covered include:
• Preparing for Phase II of the EU Emissions
Trading Scheme
• Voluntary vs mandatory carbon markets
• What buyers expect; what sellers want
• Where next for carbon prices?
• Improving the Clean Development Mechanism
• What’s happening in the US and Japan
• Outlook for the Kyoto regime beyond 2012
• Carbon finance and forestry

On June 28th, PG&E will launch ClimateSmart, a first-of-its-kind voluntary program that will enable its customers to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make their electricity and natural gas use entirely "climate neutral."
As part of the launch, the company will host a symposium on the emerging voluntary carbon offsets markets titled, "Voluntary Carbon Offset Programs: A License to Pollute or a Climate Change Remedy?" PG&E cordially invites you to join policymakers, leading environmentalists and industry leaders as they openly debate the benefits and challenges associated with these programs.
Topics at the conference include the ecological economics of climate change, energy, biodiversity, ecosystems (such as estuaries) and resource systems (e.g., fisheries and forestry); valuation methodologies and issues thereof; population concerns; regional studies of sustainable development; greening the building industry; green entrepreneurship; and education in ecological economics and sustainability.
After an introductory session on offsets, this one day conference will focus on how to create incentives that will encourage developers to pursue biodiversity offsets. The meeting will cover a range of issues pertinent to biodiversity offsets in the United States and around the world and will explore issues related to marine and coastal offsets and the legal, institutional and financial aspects of implementing offsets successfully over the long term. The workshop will bring together experts on biodiversity offsets from around the globe, including innovators and practitioners from private, public, NGO, community, government and financial sectors.
