Overview
Shaping resilient carbon markets in a new era of policy, integrity and global market growth
After five years of success, the Global Carbon Markets Conference returns in 2026 as the premier post-COP gathering for the entire carbon markets value chain. Over the years, we brought together 400+ attendees from 40+ countries and 60+ expert speakers, and this year promises to build on that momentum.
Hosted by S&P Global Energy, this flagship event unites end-buyers, project developers, financiers, traders, and other key stakeholders to provide deep insights, foster collaboration, and drive the growth of high-integrity carbon markets.
With global conflicts, evolving energy market dynamics, and policy frameworks reshape carbon pricing, and demand for high-integrity credits and compliance-grade mechanisms accelerates, clarity and strategic insight are more critical than ever. This conference offers a unique platform to explore regional compliance trends, CBAM and EU ETS developments, voluntary market dynamics, and the operationalization of Article 6, PACM, and CORSIA.
Join us for three days of strategic discussion, expert analysis, and high-value networking, and celebrate five years of shaping the future of global carbon markets.
Key themes:
- Impact of global conflicts, LNG disruptions and shifting fuel switching economics on carbon pricing and market stability
- Review CBAM implementation and growing pressure to recalibrate the EU ETS to balance climate ambition with industrial competitiveness
- Examine rising demand for high integrity credits and newer vintages as buyers prioritise quality and credibility
- Explore regional compliance market movements: China, South-Korea, New Zealand, Australia
- How compliance grade credits - Article 6, PACM and CORSIA - are moving from policy frameworks to operational carbon markets
