The future of carbon markets in a bifurcated world

With around half of the world headed to the polls for elections in 2024, the future of climate progress and the landscape of carbon markets faces new challenges and opportunities.

Experts will discuss potential scenarios where market fragmentation could lead to innovation in regional carbon trading systems while also examining risks such as protectionism and divergent regulatory frameworks. The session aims to provide insights into how stakeholders can adapt strategies within this bifurcated world to ensure that carbon markets continue to play an effective role in mitigating climate change amidst political complexities.
