INTRODUCTION
Building momentum on carbon markets as we get closer to COP30, IETA is organising its annual Latin America Climate Summit (LACS 2025) in São Paulo, Brazil, 26–28 August at the Renaissance Sao Paulo Hotel.
LACS 2025 is the premier gathering of carbon market practitioners from across the Latin America and Caribbean region, bringing together over 800 delegates to discuss the importance of carbon pricing instruments for raising climate ambition and drive fair transition in the region considering the rapidly changing geopolitical landscape.
The Summit will offer an unmatched space to discuss carbon pricing trends, deepen market expertise, and engage with policy makers and governments, business leaders, civil society, and local and traditional communities who are shaping the future of carbon markets in Latin America and the Caribbean.
We look forward to welcoming you to LACS 2025 to navigate emerging opportunities, drive impactful and large-scale climate action, and contribute to the global journey toward net-zero!
