SUMMARY:Carbon trading on the rise: a growing niche area for lawyers
DESCRIPTION:Both emission trading systems (ETS) and voluntary carbon mark
 ets (VCM) are market-based approaches aimed at reducing greenhouse gas e
 missions (GHGs) as part of the larger climate change action plans and go
 als of nations and companies. Whereas the EU ETS was established way bac
 k in 2005\, an increasing number of countries\, or states within countri
 es\, including in the Global South\, have more recently adopted legislat
 ion to facilitate these carbon trading markets. This offers opportunitie
 s for lawyers to handhold their clients throughout this dynamic regulato
 ry landscape\, as well as play a key role in drafting emissions reductio
 n purchase agreements (ERPAs). This session seeks to provide an overview
  of the different regulatory regimes\, as well as lessons learned from m
 ore mature markets\, the projected growth and opportunities\, the experi
 ence with ERPAs and the role of lawyers as their corporate clients incre
 asingly take part in these carbon trading mechanisms.\n
