FROM POLICY TO ACTION – WHERE LEADERS DEFINE APAC’S CARBON MARKETS
APAC CLIMATE MARKETS AT AN INFLECTION POINT: ALIGN, EXECUTE, Lead
As Asia-Pacific surges into 2026—a pivotal year of opportunity fueled by post-COP30 Article 6 activation, streamlined interoperability, CBAM's full rollout, EU ETS expansions, and evolving compliance mandates—the region's carbon markets are poised for unprecedented growth and innovation. Japan's GX-ETS mandates compliance, Korea's Phase IV reforms drive efficiency, China's heavy-industry expansions accelerate, Vietnam launches its ETS, Singapore raises its carbon tax to SGD45/t, ASEAN advances alignment, and Australia integrates removals—positioning APAC as a global decarbonisation powerhouse.
From January 2026, CBAM and EU ETS will catalyze transformative strategies for Asian exporters in high-emission sectors (steel, cement, aluminium, fertilizers, chemicals, plastics, hydrogen, electricity, and downstream industries), turning emissions internalization into competitive advantages. Meanwhile, CORSIA's $1.7 billion projected costs in 2026 alone will fuel high-volume credit demand, unlocking new procurement and investment frontiers in aviation.
CFAS2026 (17–18 June, InterContinental Bangkok) convenes 600+ senior leaders from governments, corporates, financiers, exchanges, developers, and innovators to harness this momentum. Equip yourself with forward-looking playbooks on Article 6 flows, high-integrity scaling, CBAM-resilient supply chains, 2026–2028 procurement strategies, RECs/cross-border electricity, nature-based solutions, engineered removals (DAC, BECCS, CCS), and carbon insurance/guarantees for scalable, bankable projects.
Join Asia-Pacific's carbon ecosystem leaders to forge partnerships, secure operational certainty, and lead the charge in converting regulatory evolution into strategic wins—ensuring your edge in the 2026–2028 decarbonisation boom.
CFAS2026 Strategic Themes:
From Frameworks to Operational Reality
Global & Regional Carbon Market Signals and Strategic Navigation
Post-COP30 signals, Article 6 rules, CBAM/ETS/CORSIA expansions, and 3–5-year catalysts shaping APAC carbon demand, prices, and volatility.
High-Integrity Supply
and Crediting 2.0
Pricing quality tiers, shortened due diligence via ratings/tags, dynamic baselines, co-benefits, and buffer innovations for scalable, trusted carbon credits.
Article 6 Execution & Government Approvals
LoA/CA authorization workflows, policy/tax/FX risks, audit trails to prevent double counting, and linking efficient approvals to liquidity and investment.
CBAM & EU ETS: From Compliance to Competitive Edge in Exposed Sectors
CBAM preparation via emissions data, supplier segmentation, and traceability; turning border carbon costs into resilience, lower financing costs, and market leadership.
Corporate Procurement & Decarbonisation Roadmaps
Smart carbon/REC procurement strategies, multi-year planning, quality bands, governance, contract structures, and 2026–2028 portfolio priorities for credible net-zero alignment.
Durable Removals & Project Bankability
Engineering/nature-based removals (BECCS/DAC/CCS), integrity/MRV, long-term offtakes, and insurance/guarantees to make large-scale APAC projects investment-grade and financeable.

2026 EXHIBITORS
Why Attend?
Navigate Policy Uncertainty with Clarity
Market players across roles — from governments shaping rules to corporates managing compliance and developers seeking approvals — face evolving post-COP30 Article 6 guidelines, registry standards, and CBAM details, risking delays, misalignment, and missed collaboration opportunities. CFAS2026 brings direct clarity from leading regulators and policymakers, delivering actionable workflows and cross-border strategies to align your priorities with the region’s emerging framework.
Gain Clarity on Demand and Market Direction
Unclear demand trajectories, pricing trends, and financing signals create challenges for corporates planning decarbonisation, financiers assessing opportunities, developers positioning supply, and governments guiding national strategies — leading to inefficient allocation and untapped potential. CFAS2026 provides authoritative insights from senior buyers, investors, and exchanges, equipping you with reliable benchmarks, procurement priorities, and capital structures to make informed, forward-looking decisions.
Connect with APAC’s Influential Decision-Makers
Scarce access to reliable partners and emerging trends hinders effective collaboration for governments, multilateral organisations, project developers, technology innovators, and financial institutions alike — slowing progress and scaling. CFAS2026 unites 600+ senior leaders in an intimate, curated setting, fostering direct connections and strategic relationships that drive meaningful impact across the decarbonisation ecosystem.
