CAD Trust at Latin America Climate Summit 2025

CAD Trust is attending Latin America Climate Summit (LACS) in São Paulo, Brazil from 26 – 28 August 2025!

Venue: Renaissance São Paulo Hotel Alameda Santos, 2233 – Jardim Paulista, São Paulo – SP, 01419-002, Brazil

Latin America Climate Summit (LACS) 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. Organised by IETA and co-hosted by the Secretariat of Environment, Infrastructure, and Logistics of the State of São Paulo (SEMIL), and the City of São Paulo, LACS offers 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.

Latin America is home to some of the world’s most critical ecosystems. Strengthening the region’s carbon market infrastructure is key to ensuring these natural assets deliver on climate ambitions and we are excited to contribute to these conversations.
