The next US President will implement climate change legislation in the next two years. We are holding this seminar directly after the US Presidential and Congressional elections to alert business leaders to the opportunities in carbon trading and finance. Recently, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) held its first carbon credit auction and the US Western States are moving forward with a greenhouse gas reduction program in 2012. The bottom line is U.S. is about to enter the carbon constrained world. Partnering with Howard Siegel of the law firm Brown Rudnick, which has been proactive in carbon market project development, we offer clarity on what carbon cap and trade is, how it is developing in the US and what are the business opportunities.
This market is very complex and can be hard for the layman to understand. The insights of Peter Fusaro and Howard Siegel into carbon market developments are sought by industry professionals, financial institutions, technology companies and policy makers in order to simplify market design as well as identify investment opportunities. Recognizing the need for this unique expertise, we are offering a continuously revised four hour course on carbon market developments in the U.S. and Europe due to the dynamism of the market and recent policy developments.
Since December 2006, more than 800 professionals have taken Peter Fusaro’s webinars, classroom seminars, and in-house trainings on green trading, cleantech & emissions trading, renewable energy trading and carbon market developments. This 4 hour course is geared for busy professionals who need to get up to speed on carbon market developments in one afternoon. Course attendees will receive background materials as an adjunct to the course syllabus. View Past Seminar Attendees
