THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENT ON CARBON MARKETS IN LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN
Carbon Markets and Fair Transition for Latin America and the Caribbean
As part of our Annual Regional Climate Summit Series 2024, the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) and the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP), 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:
- In which direction are regulations on carbon markets heading in countries from the region?
- Communities at the heart of the discussion: How to ensure adequate implementation of safeguards and co-benefits under the current situation?
- REDD+ projects and jurisdictional programs: Is there an election for Latin America and the Caribbean?
- National and subnational states How to ensure proper synchronization of instruments between jurisdictions?
- How can voluntary, compliance and Article 6 carbon markets interact to support climate action in the region?
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.
