2 weeks to go until Climate Finance and Carbon Markets Africa

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 9, 2012 -- Africa has been given a second chance to benefit from the carbon markets. Despite the low expectations going into COP 17, a last-minute deal was reached to extend the Kyoto Protocol for at least another 5 years.

In the fall out from the Durban meeting, Climate Finance and Carbon Markets Africa is your ideal follow up platform to consolidate your business strategy for 2012 and beyond, now that the mid-term future has been clarified.

The question for all stakeholders is how can Africa become a bigger recipient of climate finance in this next phase of global climate policy? Join a faculty of over 30 speakers as the private and public sector congregate to strategise, share experiences and network, working towards increasing green investment and improving the effectiveness of climate projects across the continent. Tackle critical issues including attracting finance to your project, increasing the prominence of PoAs, overcoming investment barriers in LDCs, and exploring project types that represent the best prospects.

Now is the time for you to capitalise on these opportunities and make Africa a focus for climate finance.

New speakers include:

• Imtiaz Ahmad , Executive Director, Morgan Stanley
• Salisu Dahiru , Head of Climate Change Unit, Ministry of Environment , Nigeria
• Andrew Gilder , Director, Imbewu
