Carbon Expo
Global Carbon Market Fair & Conference
The fourth edition of the world’s most
important fair on carbon and solutions to
combat climate change took place in the
Catalan capital, organised by the World
Bank, the International Emissions Trading
Association (IETA) and Fira de Barcelona.
Every year, the event brings together the
main stakeholders in the sector to discuss
carbon pricing and instruments to finance
the transition to low-carbon economies.
With more than 2,200 visitors from
109 countries, 100 exhibitors and more
than 300 speakers, Carbon Expo 2015
grew by 30% compared to the previous
edition. After three days of presentations
and discussions on the current state of
the carbon market, which is at a compli-
cated period at present, the participants
expressed their confidence in a new ap-
proach to reducing emissions.
The event also focused on such issues
as the development of solid carbon mar-
kets, effective funding to combat climate
change, and technology to “decarbonise”
the global economy.
