The International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) and Koelnmesse, are pleased to announce our 7th Annual Carbon Forum Asia to be staged from 30 - 31 October 2012 in Bangkok, at the Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld.

Located in the center of Southeast Asia, Thailand is at the heart of the region and easily accessible to key markets. Staging Carbon Forum Asia for the first time in Bangkok will offer the Asian and global carbon, energy and financial community once again a unique opportunity to network, develop new business opportunities and stay updated on the most current issues and trends.

The Asia-Pacific region is poised to lead the growth of carbon markets more than anywhere else. This year's edition will offer attendees the opportunity to find out how investors and policy makers are spending more time understanding the complexities and prospects for carbon and finance in Asia. With China's seven voluntary pilots set to launch next year, there is a lot to learn from the market. Australia's clean energy package will become operational from 1st July 2012, and investors and industry professionals are ramping up their efforts in the Tasman market. Japan, Korea, and Taiwan are just some of the countries looking to put in place a national emission trading scheme in the coming years. This exciting 7th edition will take a closer look at the Asia-Pacific region and the future role it plays for the global carbon and financial markets.

Focusing on the growing leadership of the Asia Pacific market, Carbon Forum Asia 2012 will continue to serve as the region's leading business, trading and knowledge platform for Asian carbon market professionals.

Be part of Carbon Forum Asia 2012, and welcome to the Kingdom of Thailand!
