Carbon Price in the Americas General Assembly

CCAP Carbon Markets Manager Martin Perez will be attending the Carbon Price in the Americas General Assembly strategic session in Rio de Janeiro on Oct. 17. The CPA General Assembly is a unique moment during the year that offers the CPA members and partners an opportunity to meet and share their knowledge and first-hand experience in developing and/or implementing carbon pricing mechanisms as key instruments to accelerate the transition to a clean and carbon neutral economy.

Martin will participate in the Tour de table session where partners will present ongoing activities in their organization. The CCAP intervention will focus on our recent experience showing that CCAP has created partnerships with local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to generate updated knowledge about the diversity of carbon prices and its interaction with carbon markets in the Americas. CCAP will also be presenting research and developing recommendations about the role of the markets in social welfare rises, benefit sharing, and fair agreements.
