About The Event

The event seeks to bring together key stakeholders -- government bodies, carbon traders, auditors, corporates, and tree-planting companies -- to explore the potential of carbon credit accounting, trading, and mining in afforestation and ecological restoration. Amid growing recognition of nature-based solutions for climate mitigation, the conference provides a timely platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration, leveraging the momentum created by the government's focus on carbon markets. By fostering innovation and scalable strategies, the event looks to position India as a global leader in sustainable development while driving meaningful climate action.
