Global carbon markets are entering a new geopolitical era
Why Now?
Article 6 implementation is accelerating.
CBAM is beginning to reshape international competitiveness and trade flows.
Voluntary carbon markets are undergoing significant transformation.
Carbon pricing is increasingly becoming a geopolitical and economic issue rather than solely an environmental policy instrument.
Carbon pricing is increasingly evolving beyond environmental policy and becoming a strategic factor in: international trade, industrial competitiveness, supply chains, investment decisions and geopolitical positioning.
At the same time: Article 6 is laying the foundations for international carbon trading, CBAM is reshaping export competitiveness, voluntary carbon markets are entering a critical new phase and regional carbon systems are becoming increasingly fragmented and strategic.
The implications increasingly affect: Commodity traders, exporters, industrial companies, financial institutions, governments and global investors.
This premium live session provides a strategic overview of the structural developments likely to shape the next phase of global carbon markets.
“Carbon markets are increasingly becoming strategic economic and geopolitical instruments rather than purely environmental policy tools”
