2023 has been an exciting year for carbon markets across North America. We have seen the launch of Washington state’s cap and invest program, important proposed changes to California and Quebec’s cap and trade program, ongoing RGGI review, and the first steps for a new market in New York state. We have also seen evolving dynamics for compliance offsets, and proposed changes to offset use and protocols in some jurisdictions. In addition to this, new climate-financial risk and voluntary offsetting disclosure rules will continue to alter the landscape for California businesses and beyond. 

cCarbon is excited to host a discussion on these developments with experts from across the North American carbon spectrum:
