CMIA/ICROA/IETA Position Statement:
Statement on the suitability of Carbon Credits for investment by the General Public
Purpose of this document
This statement is jointly issued by The Climate Markets and Investment Association (CMIA) and The International Carbon Reduction and Offset Alliance (ICROA) & International Emissions Trading Association (IETA). Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by channelling finance to energy efficiency, renewable power, ecosystem protection and other climate mitigation opportunities is critical to maintaining a stable climate. However the associations caution individual investors against using emissions trading instruments, specifically carbon credits, unless they are experienced enough and knowledgeable enough to fully understand the significant risks they face by doing so, and are able to bear the financial losses (which could be the total of sums invested) that could arise if they do elect to invest.
CMIA, ICROA & IETA are industry associations which were created and exist to promote emissions trading as an effective means for business to control pollution at least cost. They represent the interests of over 165 business organisations, spanning the globe, which are involved in market-based programmes to control environmental impacts.

|

Here is IETA's input  to the UNFCCC on the review of the CDM modalities and procedures. This call for input was issued by the SBI at COP 19/CMP 9 in Warsaw (UNFCCC document available here) and asks for technical advice and guidance on a few particular elements of the CDM modalities and procedures.
IETA has responded to each query on the modalities and procedures, and our underlying message is to not undermine confidence in the market and to strengthen opportunities for project participants and investors in the CDM.
You can view IETA’s 2013 input on the first review of the CDM modalities and procedures here. |

|
Deal reached amongst European institutions shifts focus to a global agreement on aviation in ICAO.
The International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) supports a global solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector. The political agreement tentatively reached by European institutions is a step that would encourage and facilitate progress in reducing emissions through a market-based mechanism at the international level.
