EUROPEAN CLIMATE SUMMIT – ECS 2025

SCALING MARKET SOLUTIONS. POWERING PROGRESS & GROWTH

To kick off our Annual Regional Climate Summit Series of this year, IETA is look forward to welcoming delegates this Spring to our flagship European Climate Summit (ECS) 2025, taking place 1-3 April at the Pavilhão Carlos Lopes in Lisbon, Portugal.

ECS will take place amid a rapidly changing geopolitical landscape, even as carbon markets in the EU and globally continue to mature and expand. A new political cycle for EU climate action has begun, and the task of preparing carbon markets for their next stage presents both new challenges and opportunities. In this dynamic context, competitiveness, integrity, and innovation will be at the heart of our discussion.

This year’s summit will focus on the key EU policies shaping carbon markets both within Europe and globally, including:

• Global carbon pricing outlook
• Emissions Trading in Road Transport and Buildings sectors (ETS2)
• The role of emissions trading to deliver net-zero targets
• CBAM, preparations for the compliance phase
• Markets for engineered and nature-based carbon removals
• EU ETS & Market Stability Reserve Review
• VCM and Claims
• Next steps for CORSIA

Be part of the conversation driving the next phase of carbon market evolution. Join us at ECS to engage with policymakers, business leaders, and climate market pioneers who are shaping the future of carbon markets. Organised by IETA, ECS is an in-person event.
