The volume of trading in allowances, offsets and derivatives has been increasing in recent months. In this session, active market participants will talk about how transactions are being structured and priced.
In North America and around the world, alliances are rolling out their own initiatives to address climate change, taking a bottom up approach and focusing on local action. Representatives from these groups will lead a discussion on their activities, what they hope to accomplish and the role of sub-national initiatives now and in the future.
In the absence of an international agreement that would create a truly global carbon market, state and national governments around the world are demonstrating leadership by establishing a network of emissions trading programs and exploring linkages under a series of unique multi- and bilateral agreements. In a cross-cutting panel discussion, international leaders will discuss their efforts and the prospects for these approaches to build a new global framework for limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
California is contemplating the crediting of REDD+ in other countries, including Mexico, as part of its cap-and-trade program. Successful REDD+ initiatives will require coordinated action from multiple actors responsible for the health of forests, including national and sub-national governments, private land owners and indigenous peoples. This session will highlight efforts being undertaken at multiple levels in Mexico to design REDD+ programs.
WCI is reaching a watershed moment with plans for Québec and California to link their cap-and-trade programs later this year. WCI Partners will provide an update on program development, followed by an interactive forum for questions and answers.
The California State Legislature will consider a number of climate change issues during its 2012 session and will influence many aspects of the cap-and-trade program, including revenue allocations, offset rules and other elements of the program design. This session will provide a unique and rarely-seen look at what the issues are and offer insight into how they may play out.

Over the next decade, California may play a unique role in helping to advance state-level REDD+ initiatives. In forums such as the Governor's Climate and Forest Task Force (GCF) and REDD Offsets Working Group (ROW), policymakers in California and around the world are grappling with a wide range of critical issues, including finance, safeguards, reference levels, monitoring, reporting and verification. Panelists in this session will discuss ongoing efforts to build sub-national REDD+ policies and programs linked to California and beyond.
There are many questions surrounding potential legal issues that would prevent smooth sailing for the implementation of California’s cap-and-trade program. Litigation from industry groups, compliance businesses and environmental groups and the recent ruling on the state’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) are all being closely watched as potential upsets for the program. In this session, legal experts and analysts will lead a discussion on the status of current legal issues and expectations on how they may affect the cap-and-trade program.
Although regulated entities in California will be able to use carbon offsets to meet only eight percent of their compliance obligation under cap-and-trade, many observers are concerned that offsets will be in short supply, especially after 2014. Amid these concerns, there is much speculation around possible domestic project types that California and WCI may add to their programs to boost supply. This session will examine the prospects for including additional offset types in the California and WCI programs and their potential for addressing supply concerns.
Various analysts have suggested that California prices are likely to be moderate during the first compliance period but could jump sharply after that. The panel in this session will look at strategies for compliance after 2014.
Over the next few months, California must finalize the design of its allowance auctions and decide how it will implement market oversight. This session will examine auction design and lessons learned - including lessons from Europe - regarding market protection and what steps California is taking or should be taking to ensure the integrity of the market.
There are a wide range of opportunities to generate offsets from the agricultural sector and from land-based activities more generally. This session will explore both current and developing offset standards to tap into this important and potentially significant sector, including on farms, rangelands, and grasslands.

Many of California's environmental initiatives outside of the cap-and-trade program have grabbed national headlines and even served as models for other states, regions and the federal government. This session will look at these initiatives, including energy efficiency and renewables, clean vehicles and transportation, and will include discussion of U.S. EPA actions to address climate change.

Proving that market-based initiatives are effective ways to manage emissions and incentivize participation, new carbon markets have launched around the world. This session will discuss the status and future direction of these markets.
