Carbon Markets and Investors Association
Contents
Background
CMIA is a UK based international trade association for 'carbon market service providers'.
"The Carbon Markets and Investors Association (CMIA) is an international trade association representing service providers to the global carbon market.
Representing businesses at the cutting edge of the services sector working to reduce carbon emissions through the market mechanisms of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol, CMIA was created to ensure the progressive business voice is heard - market-friendly climate change policy creating new business opportunities.
Providing highly-skilled jobs and added value to the economy through services to the growing global market for the reduction of carbon emissions, CMIA's international membership accounts for an estimated three quarters of the transaction value in the global carbon market, worth roughly 100 billion USD in 2008.
With over 50 member companies, including, financial institutions, carbon funds, project developers, lawyers, accountants, verifiers, emissions brokers and IT firms, we aim to promote growth and stability in the carbon market and to enhance competitiveness in the climate change sector."[1]
CMIA was an NGO observer party to the COP14 summit, listed under UK members. [2]
