THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT ON CARBON MARKETS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
Carbon Markets and a Fair Transition for Latin America and the Caribbean
As part of our Annual Regional Climate Summit Series 2024, IETA together with Asocarbono, look forward to welcoming delegates to our flagship Latin America Climate Summit (LACS) 2024, taking place 25-27 June at the Centro De Convenciones Cartagena De Indias in Cartagena, Colombia.
LACS will address the following fundamental topics for the development of carbon markets in the region, such as:
• The evolving carbon policy landscape: What is the current state of play and
outlooks for carbon pricing and markets’ regulations across the region?
• Communities at the heart of the discussion: How to ensure adequate
implementation of safeguards and co-benefits?
• Critical role of nature in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC): REDD+
projects, jurisdictional programs, and biodiversity
• Subnational actors and leadership: Carbon market actions at state/provincial
levels, and how to ensure proper synchronisation of instruments with national
actions and ambition?
• The Voluntary Carbon Market as climate policy enabler
• Financing the just transition
Participate in this great opportunity to listen and interact with government representatives, the business sector and opinion leaders who lead efforts to create, scale and collaborate in the development of carbon markets on the path to net-zero. Organized by IETA and Asocarbono, LACS 2024 is an in-person event that includes high-level plenaries, keynote conferences, transversal talks, parallel events and unique networking opportunities.
