Dear colleague,

Are you involved in carbon trading, carbon financing, and sustainability projects?

I am sure you are aware that countries in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) region have some of the highest overall and per-capita greenhouse gas emissions in the world, and that some of the world’s wealthiest investors are also from here. Are you missing out on the biggest wealth generation opportunity of our time?

Some might point to the lack of local regulation and the tremendously inexpensive energy supplied to industries here. Just look at how many smelters have been built in the past few years, and you might doubt that global warming is even a concern here.

In a way, you would be right.

But interest is now rising steadily among governments, investors and local industry leaders in the profit opportunities posed by CDM projects. And now is the time, right before the carbon market explodes to become the world’s biggest market, to rub elbows with key local and global stakeholders, put your foot in the door, and get your ticket to massive returns in the next few years.

Meet senior government officials, world body representatives, local industry leaders and end-investors wanting to find out more about the global carbon market at the World Carbon Emission Reduction Summit 2008, the first ever industry-driven meet on CDM opportunities in the Middle East & North Africa.

Speakers at the summit include:

• Karan Capoor, Carbon Finance Unit, World Bank
  
  The Carbon Finance Unit (CFU) uses money contributed by governments and companies in OECD countries to purchase project-based greenhouse gas emission reductions in developing countries.

• Josh Harris, Carbon Finance Programme Manager, The Climate Group
  
  Josh has 5 years’ experience directly advising business on carbon management and emissions trading. He heads the Climate Group's voluntary carbon markets program and is the Acting Program Manager for the Voluntary Carbon Standard Association.

• Brian Jackson, Executive Managing Director, Emirates CMS Power
  
  Emirates CMS Power operates the 710MW Al Taweelah A2 combined cycle power and desalination plant, which minimises fuel consumption, heat rejection and atmospheric emissions.

• Thomas Luecking, Executive Director, Gerber Architekten
  
  Thomas heads the company’s Sustainability Research Division as well as the Design Department. He was also the Project Director for the company’s Burj al-Taqa (Energy Tower) project in Bahrain, which at 68 storeys high, not only consumes very little energy, but produces all its energy itself.

• Also: UNFCCC confirming speaker

We are at the dawn of a new age in energy, and a new generation of wealth. Join us this May in the UAE.
