Welcome to the EUROPEAN CLIMATE SUMMIT 2024

Download Summit Guide

Join us this Spring in Florence, Italy, for the 6^th edition of the European Climate Summit (ECS 2024), taking place 16-18 April at the Firenze Fiera.

Organised by IETA, ECS is the leading annual event on Carbon Markets in Europe.

The ECS 2024 brings together business and policymakers from both the carbon and energy markets, to analyse and discuss current developments, challenges, and solutions. This year’s edition comes at a key inflection point for the region’s carbon market.

How will the European carbon market evolve in its next phase, which starts in 2031?
Around the world, carbon markets are emerging at the fastest ever pace, with new emissions trading systems being developed from Brazil to Vietnam
More markets may mean more opportunities for international cooperation and linking, and some of these could come to Europe
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and what does it mean for the world
The health of the voluntary carbon market is a hot topic this year, as the market works to overcome challenges
Environmental integrity and robust quality assurance are at the top of everyone’s mind, and IETA’s #ECS2024 will address these issues as well.

As an in-person event, ECS features high level plenaries, cross-cutting deep dives, interactive side events, networking and exclusive social events.
