Introduction

It's Election year and with the Lieberman-Warner climate bill, scheduled for a Senate vote on June 2 2008 there has never been more pressure on the US to mandate a carbon trading system and early signs are that it would be one of the first actions of the new President. What form will this system take and what could its impact be? Meet the US Carbon experts in Washington in September and get updated on this next crucial step in the global carbon markets.
