COP
17 in Durban paved the way to a road that leads all countries to take
action on
climate change by 2020. But what happens between now and then? What are
the
defining issues that negotiators face and how are they affecting Asia
and the
global carbon markets? What is Asia doing to mitigate climate change
through
market mechanisms and how will it influence this process? What does the
future
hold for the global carbon market and what is Asia doing to create its
own
emissions trading schemes?
At
Carbon Forum Asia, delegates will gain the latest insight and knowledge
dealing
with the most current issues and developments in the UN negotiations
for a
global Carbon Market and the impacts it will have in the Asia-Pacific
region and
beyond. Some key topics to be discussed
include:
 |
Why are negotiators now discussing
'new market mechanisms', what are these and what makes them new? |
|
What
is the future of the CDM and JI mechanisms after 2012? |
|
What
role does China's new emissions trading pilot schemes have in the
global carbon market? |
|
After
the Fukushima disaster in Japan, what is the Japanese government and
industry doing in the carbon markets? |
|
Many
governments in Asia are pondering carbon tax or trading, why
should they choose trading? |
