Carbon Bazaar, May 12-13, 2011

Policy makers across the globe are creating various mechanisms and platforms to incentivize swift penetration of clean technologies in our lives. Appropriate market mechanisms and policy framework would be necessary to attain sustainable development. Also, these mechanisms and policies would be necessary to bring in a paradigm shift to achieve a structural change in ecological terms and to decouple growth and consumption of resources, while addressing the level of consumption. There is a significant appreciation of India’s economic growth. However, it is also understood that the growth will be constrained by unsustainable resource utilisation.


Under Indo-German bilateral cooperation, GIZ had organised CARBON BAZAAR 2009 and 2010. The event was organised to strengthen the CDM Market and establish direct linkages between the buyers and sellers. It witnessed participation from all spheres of carbon market both national and international. To further boost the market mechanisms for CER trading in India and to provide a meeting ground for different market players, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, ‘BMU-The German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety’ and GIZ are organising CARBON BAZAAR 2011.
