Feedback from Carbon Markets Asia ‘08

GreenPower conferences are a pioneer in the sustainability sector, their well-organized conferences cover the relevant issues with engaging programmes and accomplished speakers. The conferences are an excellent place to meet colleagues and clients, hear about new market trends and developments as well as upcoming challenges and opportunities. As a global sponsor, First Climate has received outstanding media coverage and we were able to meet the people we do business withDr. Sascha Lafeld, Executive Board Member, First Climate

Aside from establishing networks with CDM players/stakeholders and providing them assistance, attendance to Green Power conferences always provides me the continuing capacity building by being well equipped with updates on the state of play in the carbon marketPhilippine DNA
