LONDON: Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 * |
| Topic: |
Understanding Carbon Markets: Risks and Opportunities |
| |
Carbon emission trading could become the world's largest derivative market potentially reaching $ 2 trillion within a decade. As governments struggle to reconcile saving the world issues with legitimate concerns over creating another uncontrolled derivatives market, the world awaits an international agreement to limit CO2 emissions and some economists argue that carbon-trading might not be the best way to reduce emissions.
Carbon risks are not in any risk model yet carbon costs already translate into lower earnings and valuations for less carbon-efficient companies. Investors have yet to address carbon risks across funds but some money managers are already assessing the carbon footprint of their funds. Is carbon the next "hot" commodity? How should investors position their portfolios to mitigate carbon risks and benefit from the emerging carbon markets?
Our distinguished panel of experts will share their insights on the risks and opportunities attached to emission trading markets.
