With mandatory reporting underway and a National Emissions Trading Scheme under discussion, there is an urgent need for businesses to come to terms with the inevitability of a carbon constrained economy. Learn how you will be affected and what you should be doing about it now.

• Insight and more importantly - the mechanisms - by which to engage in carbon markets locally, regionally and internationally
• An awareness of how such a scheme will impact on their business, whether directly or through costs passed downstream
• The shape of a new economy – the risk, shareholder responsibilities and opportunities that will reward first mover status
