Plenary Forum 3: What now, after Copenhagen?
World-leading authorities will discuss the key outcomes and implications of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, Copenhagen, held December 2009 (COP-15). The business world needs clarity on key issues now and the panel will create a strong commercially-focused discussion centred on the outcomes of these four crucial questions:
- How much are industrialised countries willing to reduce their emissions of greenhouse gases?
- How much are major developing countries such as China and India willing to do to limit the growth of their emissions?
- How is the help needed by developing countries, to reduce their emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change, going to be financed?
- How is that money going to be managed?

Future Climate Investment Structures
In order for the world to meet the challenge of major reductions in CO2 emissions, significant investment will be required in climate mitigation technologies and green development in both developing and developed nations. Access to finance for such investments will require the establishment of new, innovative financial strategies.
This session will explore:
- What new financial instruments will be required to meet the world’s carbon reduction targets;
- The role of carbon markets in finance flows;
- Clean Development Mechanisms and how should they be reformed.

Carbon Capture and Storage – Industry in the Making
With the world’s continued dependence on fossil fuels, carbon capture and storage sis set to play a significant role in reducing carbon emissions. More than 40% of the world’s CO2 emissions come from electricity sourced from fossil fuels and with the world’s future energy demands predicted to grow by my more than 40% over the next 20 years – the need for carbon capture and storage is pressing.
In this session hear how stakeholders are collaborating to build a future robust CCS industry.
