CDM Asia 2008:
CDM Project Opportunities across the World's Largest Continent
28-31 July, Shanghai, China

CDM project origination is more urgently needed than ever. More than 1000 MtCO2e in 2008 - 2012 compliance demand for carbon remains uncontracted as of last year. And the rise of the voluntary markets and regional initiatives, as well as the EU ETS moving into Phase II, only magnifies this demand.

In order to help the industry meet the demand, CDM Asia 2008 sets the stage for sourcing additional projects through unique opportunities to network with and hear from regulators, market participants, and other key local and global stakeholders.

You will get to dissect opportunities in currently dominant host countries China and India, as well as explore alternative options in emerging host countries nearby.

At this critical time in international negotiations, you will also hear from decision makers and key stakeholders on post-2012 scenarios for carbon finance around the world.

Build your business case. Network and get inside information. Learn practical strategies for navigating local landscapes.
