Environmental commodity markets are playing an increasing role in voluntary efforts to mitigate global warming and promote renewable energy use. So-called “carbon neutrality" is “in,” and is being advertised worldwide as an effective means for consumers and companies to take action on global warming.

As our political process decides on the issues of climate change regulations and compliance markets, the voluntary green trading markets will continue to evolve – providing market-based mechanisms for climate mitigation by more sectors in innovative ways.

Consumers and businesses can tap green trading markets to negate (or offset) their impact on global warming. Some companies are exploring how to bundle carbon offsets to create carbon neutral consumer products and services. Renewable energy credits or certificates (RECs) are being promoted as a means by which consumers and companies can support green energy and reduce their environmental footprint in the process.

Notwithstanding their growing popularity, voluntary green trading markets are in their infancy.

Do they really reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create additional renewable energy resources? Is the environmental integrity of these markets important, and is it being protected? Are consumers being educated about climate change in ways that build a foundation for future public policy? And what can be done to help such markets flourish and grow?

These questions are at the heart of the inaugural greenT Forum: Raising the Bar for Voluntary Environmental Credit Markets.

The MYA Group is delighted to be able to offer this unique and exciting program on emerging voluntary environmental credit markets at the McGraw Hill Conference Center in New York. Join us to find out the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in the voluntary carbon, renewable energy, and other environmental credit markets.

This conference is the first to focus in on these markets, allowing them to be explored in a depth not seen before. It will offer a unique learning opportunity for people exploring how to participate in these markets, whether are consumers, suppliers, or in other roles.

Mark your calendars – You don’t want to miss this exciting conference! We hope you will join us in New York on May 1st and 2nd.
