With COP29 fast approaching and Paris Agreement climate goals at risk of moving further off-track, the acceleration of climate and energy transition solutions is critical.
The phase-out of unabated fossil fuels by 2050 may be achievable but it will require building low-emissions supply at twice the rate of energy demand growth. It will also require expedited deployment of carbon capture and removal projects.
Carbon markets hold the potential to deliver cost-effective emissions mitigation, for both countries and corporates unable to keep pace with targets. But will carbon offset markets be able to move past recent issues to reach a globally material scale?
Join us for our Afternoon Briefing on the 7th October, where our team of experts will discuss the evolving energy transition landscape and review topics including:
- Global emission scenarios and the risk of a delayed energy transition
- Recent trends and outlook for the carbon offset market and a glance ahead to COP29
- The rise of engineered carbon solutions: CCUS, DACCS and BECCS
- A status update on Europe’s emissions trajectory and carbon market positioning
Please complete the form to confirm register your interest and a member of our team will get back to you.
