Panel Description: 


 

The first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol will end in 2012 and
negotiations for a post-Kyoto agreement have been taking place since 2007. A
final treaty is expected to be adopted in Copenhagen in December 2009. What
improvements will be proposed to the Kyoto Protocol? What will be the major
obstacles to an agreement? What lessons have been learned from the Clean
Development Mechanism (CDM), Joint Implementation JI), the EU Emissions
Trading Scheme (ETS) and other trading schemes, such as the Regional
Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) and the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX)?
What is the future of the growing multi-billion dollar annual emissions
trading market? This panel will provide insight into the major provisions of
the international post-Kyoto climate change agreement, how the major
obstacles to agreement may be overcome, and the future of emissions trading
markets.
