Since the adoption of the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and its ratification in 2005, the carbon market has enjoyed steady and consistent expansion. However, the global economic slowdown has caused the price of carbon offsets to fall significantly over the last couple of months, and coupled with the uncertainty caused by potential upcoming changes in climate change policy from the Copenhagen COP15 meeting, participants in the carbon market have decided to lay low.
The 2nd Annual Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) Asia Pacific 2010 sets the timeliest stage to converge the efforts of regulators, industry leaders, and all local and global stakeholders to analyze the most updated policy changes and explore the latest remarkable opportunities.
