ASIA CLIMATE SUMMIT – ACS 2024

ASIA CLIMATE SUMMIT (ACS 2024)

Carbon Markets Driving Collective Climate Action

The Asia Climate Summit (ACS 2024) #ACS2024 is the leading gathering of carbon market practitioners, experts, and governments from across the Asia Pacific. Co-organized by IETA and FICCI, in collaboration with the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP), ACS 2024 is an in-person event taking place 22-24 of October at the Andaz Delhi, bringing together over 800 delegates from across the APAC region and internationally. 

The Summit offers a unique opportunity to gain insights on regulatory developments and enhance your carbon market expertise, foster meaningful business connections, and “what to watch” through COP29 Baku and beyond. ACS addresses how to best drive corporate decarbonisation strategies, and gather market intelligence on the evolving carbon pricing landscape and latest market trends around the world.

The program focuses on the next steps for climate action in Asia and internationally, collaboratively moving the needle on delivering climate action and transition finance at scale – thru high-level plenaries, inspirational keynotes, deep-dive breakouts and interactive side events, and exclusive networking opportunities.

ACS comes at a key inflection point for the expansion of carbon markets across Asia, hoping to shed light on key questions such as:

• How can compliance markets, voluntary carbon markets and Article 6 interact to support climate action in the region?
• With the emergence of new markets in India, Indonesia and Viet Nam, together with the expansion of existing carbon pricing instruments e.g. in China, Korea, New Zealand and Singapore – how can the private sector work to advance regional collaboration?
• As independent crediting programmes are facing increasing scrutiny, how can market participants support integrity and high-quality project implementation, fostering liquidity in the market and low-carbon development?
• In a rapidly evolving geopolitical and technological landscape, what will be the next phase of carbon markets in Asia? 
• With the introduction of EU CBAM, how does this impact exporters in Asia and the growth of domestic carbon pricing instruments?
