Carbon Market & Investor Forum 2023 - Singapore | Carbon Market Institute | 18 July 2023 | Parkroyal Collection Pickering, 3 Upper Pickering St, Singapore 058289

As the Australian carbon marketplace matures, it is time to build an international network of climate leaders. International linkages are evolving at a pace that is only accelerating as the Australian Government has now lodged an updated NDC with the UNFCCC, and voluntary climate action ramps up. There are lessons to be learnt, and shared, in convening professionals from across the APAC region. This Forum will facilitate new discussions, and build relationships with professionals, investors and policy-makers from across the region. The three general themes have been selected to provide a framework for the program, which will feature plenaries, workshops and networking events, including a Forum dinner, networking breakfast, and investor forum luncheon.
