Carbon emissions, carbon markets, carbon credits - what they all mean for the real estate development industry? Currently states are taking steps to establish their own markets, banks are allocating billions of dollars in carbon funds and developers are working with carbon brokers to create carbon credits on their projects. This panel will present the basic concept of a carbon emissions trading market and define the role real estate development can play in the monetization of carbon credits on a carbon market. With federal carbon market legislation looming on the horizon, this panel will help you understand how local or federal carbon market legislation would affect your business and how your business could benefit.
