Forestry Carbon Markets & REDD
Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation
Washington DC, USA: 10—11, June 2010
Introduction
Co-located with Carbon Markets USA
Despite recent uncertainty, the forest carbon market has grown nearly fivefold since 2006.
The market was worth $21 million in the first half of 2009, .1 million in 2008, after rising to .5 million a year before and from .6 million in 2006, according to Ecosystem Marketplace.
“At the end of 2009, the market for forest carbon stands in an uncertain position on the verge of potentially enormous growth,” the State of the Forest Carbon Markets 2009 report said.
“Amidst this scene of opportunity and risk, investors are still eyeing forest carbon, though many are waiting on more definite regulatory signals before taking a financial leap.”
GreenPower’s Forestry Carbon Markets & REDD conference will bring these investors together with the regulators and every other link in the REDD value chain to move the market forward and realize the potential of the forestry carbon markets in the USA and beyond. Two days of debate and discussion amongst industry leaders and experts will put you in a position to make the most of your position in this rapidly growing market.
