HOR 4 - White Tags - Green Tags: Emerging Opportunities in EcoSystem Service Markets

Thursday, February 22, 2007 · 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM

How can you engage and profit in the "carbon constrained" future? Ecosystem markets, which have emerged over the last decade, recognize the necessary "services" ecosystems provide: clean air, clean water, climate control, rich soil etc., and attach an economic trading value to them while mitigating the environmental damage being caused to this planet. These ecosystem markets are touted to become the largest commodity in the world!
