Club Tendances Carbone – Carbon Trends Club

Club Tendances Carbone aims to pool understanding and analysis of the development of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme or EU ETS. This scheme, which was set up in 2005, has led to the emergence of a market price for CO
2 emissions produced by the major European industrial sectors. Since 2008, the scheme also been linked in to the
project mechanisms created by the Kyoto Protocol.

Club Tendances Carbone meets
three times a year for a half-day meeting on current themes in carbon markets, to bring together research on legal, statutory, economic and financial issues.
The debates at each meeting are organised in two parts:
- an analysis of the development of the European CO2 market and other carbon markets presented by teams from CDC Climat Research, the CEC and BlueNext;
- a themed round table, where high-level attendees tackle the economic, regulatory and strategic issues surrounding the implementation of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme. The themes for the meetings are selected as a function of Club members’ common interests and of current market events.
Club Tendances Carbone members receive a complete analysis report on the development of carbon markets at every meeting, prepared by teams from CDC Climat Research, the CEC and BlueNext.
