A One-Track Mind: DC Doha Debrief

A One-Track Mind: DC Doha Debrief

Overview of the event: Forest Trends’ Ecosystem Marketplace, McGuireWoods LLP and the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) are again hosting the DC Doha Debrief – a panel event exploring post-COP18 scenarios for new market mechanisms, climate finance, REDD+ and private sector market engagement.


IETA’s President and CEO Dirk Forrister will headline a panel of DC-metro area experts who attended or closely tracked the UNFCCC’s 18th Conference of Parties – and will describe their expectations for the 2013 marketplace through this lens. The panel will be followed by a cocktail reception hosted by law firm McGuireWoods LLP.  
       
Topics: Now that the UNFCCC climate negotiations train is traveling on a single track, talks leave the station in 2013 with a handful of strides in tow – while pushing several key decisions further down the line. This second annual exclusive debrief for DC’s dedicated carbon wonks will examine 2013 prospects for new market mechanisms, climate finance, REDD+ and private sector engagement in light of COP18 outcomes.
