RGGI+ Leadership Dialogue RGGI has grown up! Today marks the 10th anniversary of RGGI’s first-ever auction – lots have been learned, and lots of have been changed since the program early years. With North America’s first cap and trade system holding a decade of experience, what does the future hold this market? New participants? More growth? Will the price finally move closer to its Western Climate Initiative (WCI) cousin? Will RGGI expand beyond electricity? IETA hosts RGGI staff, leading market participants and potential future members of the “club” for a candid roundtable discussion about where RGGI’s been and, more importantly, where the market might be headed through 2020. As RGGI Members finalize 2017 Program Changes and climate market developments abound – inside and outside the region – this will be an unbeatable opportunity to learn about what the future holds for the US’ oldest kid on the carbon market block.

Article 6 Leadership Dialogue Talanoa means getting to the “greater good” by sharing stories to build new and better understanding with mutual respect for differing views. This year’s dialogue asks us to reach for greater climate ambition by exploring where we are, where we need to go, and how will we get there? Focus of this final NYC leadership dialogue is on the role of markets under the Paris Agreement in delivering and helping to ratchet-up ambition. Article 6 can deliver higher ambition at lower cost, but its provisions need to be brought to life. Will COP24 deliver rules to unleash the full potential of international carbon trading?

| 17.30-18.30 (Rosehill Restaurant) | Side Event 1: Business innovation to tackle climate change – Are Corporate PPAs part of the answer? An increasing number of corporations are focusing on value generation through energy procurement and management - combining energy cost management with environmental strategies. These strategies are enhancing brand value through the process of ‘greening’ and accessing additional value through strengthened relationships with either local communities or a wider customer base. Corporate PPAs supporting renewable energy projects have often played an important role in these strategies. Although interest in such corporate PPAs is rapidly growing, these are not a new phenomenon, with the first deals occurring almost ten years ago. However, the combination of tapering renewable subsidies, increasing energy prices and falling technology costs, has opened the door for corporate PPAs to become a material driver for change.
