Private companies in Latin America and the Caribbean face important challenges managing their carbon footprint. The evolving market and regulatory environment requires business leaders in the region to keep abreast of the risks and opportunities derived from global efforts to combat climate change. Linking global carbon markets to corporate policies on environmental responsibility is seen as a sound strategy to respond to these challenges.
The regional workshop on “Climate Change: Corporate Responsibility and Market Mechanisms”, will have the participation of experts from financial markets, corporate environmental responsibility and carbon markets to discuss experiences and opportunities for the private sector in these areas. This event is co-organized by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Sao Paulo Stock Exchange (BM&F BOVESPA) and the World Bank.
The objectives of the event are to discuss the business opportunities for the private sector from (i) corporate environmental responsibility, including corporate standards and protocols for GHG inventories, (ii) market mechanisms for mitigation, including CDM and voluntary carbon markets, and (iii) incentives and regulations from national and local governments in mitigation activities.
