EUROPEAN CLIMATE SUMMIT – ECS 2024

EUROPE’S LARGEST ENVIRONMENTAL MARKETS EVENT

Climate Finance, Carbon Markets, and the Energy Transition

Join us for the 6th edition of the IETA-led European Climate Summit (ECS 2024), taking place 16-18 April at Firenze Fiera in Florence, Italy.

ECS comes at a key inflection point for the region’s carbon market.

• How will the European carbon market evolve in its next phase, which starts in 2031?
• Around the world, carbon markets are emerging at the fastest ever pace, with new emissions trading systems being developed from Brazil to Vietnam
• More markets may mean more opportunities for international cooperation and linking, and some of these could come to Europe
• The health of the voluntary carbon market is a hot topic this year, as the market works to overcome challenges
• Environmental integrity and robust quality assurance are at the top of everyone’s mind, and IETA’s #ECS2024 will address these issues as well.

Join us to hear from and meet with policymakers, business and thought provocateurs who are leading the pack in building, scaling and collaborating on markets for net zero. Organised by IETA, ECS 2024 is an in-person event. The program features high level plenaries, inspirational keynotes, cross-cutting deep dives, interactive side events, and quality networking opportunities.
