The greenhouse emission reduction credit or “carbon credit” market has become a multi-billion dollar industry for credits issued under the Kyoto Protocol internationally and for voluntary reduction credits in the United States. This market is projected to be worth $2 trillion by 2012, with new legislation, potential litigation, as well as new business opportunities on the horizon. To provide insight into this important topic, Sustainable Dallas hosts a luncheon and seminar, Positioning Yourself for Opportunities in Emerging Carbon Markets on Sept. 20, 12-5 p.m., at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas.
The event features nationally recognized experts who will offer an introduction to carbon trading and discuss how businesses and law firms are making moves to profit from this new market. Speakers include Tom Cushing of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Garrett Boone of Texas Business for Clean Air, Tim Smith of Element Markets of Houston, Josh Margolis of CantorC02e, and Scott D. Deatherage of Thompson & Knight LLP.
This conference is designed for business executives, legal counsel, investment advisors, members of the media, university professors and students, and other professionals with an interest in carbon markets, cap and trade systems, legislation, regulation and litigation that will come as governments and businesses continue to address climate change. CLE credit for attorneys is pending.
