Lunch Briefing: The Future of Carbon Pricing
London Climate Action Week 2026
Thursday, 25 June, 2026
12:30 pm - 2:30 pm BST

Carbon pricing systems now cover nearly a quarter of global emissions and are rapidly becoming one of the most important drivers of capital allocation, industrial competitiveness, and climate policy. Yet, the next five years will determine whether carbon markets can scale to deliver the investment signals needed for deep decarbonization.

As policymakers in Europe review the future of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), California considers the next chapter of its cap-and-invest program beyond 2030, and the UK explores reforms to strengthen its own carbon market, investors face a critical question: what comes next for the world's largest and most influential compliance carbon markets?

Join Climate Finance Partners (CLIFI) and KraneShares for an exclusive lunch discussion examining the outlook for carbon allowance markets, emerging policy developments, and the growing potential for greater international market convergence.

The discussion will explore how evolving carbon market architecture could influence allowance prices, investment opportunities, industrial competitiveness, and global climate ambition.
