Carbon Forum North America is the cornerstone carbon event for those interested in North American government policies impacting carbon markets and carbon compliance. In five plenary and eight workshop sessions, leaders including WRI’s Franz Litz will cover topics including climate policy in 2011-2012, discuss the implications for carbon markets, and offer critical advice and information that will help market practitioners and compliance entities alike sort out the complex and rapidly evolving world of carbon markets and regulation.
