09:15 – 09:45 Opening Ceremony: Welcome by Host Country and LAC Carbon Forum Partners

 H.E. Alfio Piva, Vice President, Republic of Costa Rica  Mr. Victorio Oxilia, Executive Secretary, Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE)  Mr. John Christensen, Head, UNEP Risoe Centre  Mr. Henry Derwent, President & CEO, International Emissions Trading Association (IETA)  Mr. Fernando Quevedo, Representative in Costa Rica, Inter-American Development Bank (IADB)  Mr. John Kilani, Director, Sustainable Development Mechanisms, UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC)  Mr. Gregor V. Wolf, Sector Leader, Sustainable Development, Latin America & the Caribbean, World Bank

09:45 – 10:00

10:00 – 11:15 Plenary 01: Design of the post-2012 climate regime: placing the right incentives for climate-smart development in Latin America While international negotiations around the post-2012 climate regime evolve, countries across the Latin America and the Caribbean region are making steady progress in mainstreaming climate change considerations into their development priorities. Ambitious mitigation actions and critical adaptation measures are often on top of national development agendas, but implementation efforts will be meaningless unless there is a path to grow their economies using low-carbon technologies. What are the best incentives to mobilize the finance and to stimulate the technology deployment that will be needed for green growth? And how can the multilateral climate regime effectively provide with such incentives?

Moderator: Mr. Victorio Oxilia, Executive Secretary, Latin American Energy Organization (OLADE) Panelists:  H.E. René Castro, Minister of the Environment, Energy and Telecommunications, Republic of Costa Rica  Mr. Andrei Marcu, Chair, IETA CDM Working Group; Sr Vice-President and Head of Policy and Regulatory Affairs, Mercuria Energy Group  Mr. Hernán Carlino, Former CDM EB Member; Climate Studies Centre, Instituto Torcuato Di Tella, Argentina

11:45 – 13:00 Plenary 02: Taking stock: State and Trends of the Carbon Market 2011 While transactions held up in 2010, the political and regulatory aspects of the carbon market were relentlessly in the spotlight. Positive news includes the outcomes in Cancun and the increasing traction gained by new low- carbon initiatives at national and domestic levels, such as in Brazil, California, , India and Republic of Korea. But the impacts were partially offset by regulatory disruptions in the EU-ETS market and bearish news at the federal level in the United States, Japan, and – maybe - Australia. This session will discuss the market impacts of this year‟s major events and survey the path towards the recovery of market confidence.

14:00 – 15:15 Plenary 03: CDM in Latin America: so far, so good?

Latin America was an early and proactive player in the carbon finance business from its start, playing already a major role in the CDM‟s precursor, the Activities Implemented Jointly (AIJ) pilot program. When the CDM became operational in 2003, project activities across the region served as a lab for CDM methodology development, project design and carbon purchase arrangements. Since then, the region‟s share of total projects and contracted emissions reductions has been declining. This plenary session will depict remarkable features of CDM project implementation and CER trading in Latin America during the last decade, while inciting a discussion on how the region may regain a leadership role as the carbon market moves to new dimensions.

Moderator: Ms. Miriam Hinostroza, Head of Programme, Energy and Carbon Finance, UNEP Risoe Centre

Panelists:  Ms. Mary Gómez, Head, Latin American Carbon Program, CAF  Mr. William Alpízar, Director, Climate Change, Ministry of the Environment, Energy and Telecommunications (MINAET), Costa Rica  Mr. Edwin Aalders, Assessor, Det Norske Veritas (DNV)  Ms. Paola Del Rio, Country Manager for Mexico and Central America, First Climate Group

15:15 – 15:45 Coffee break

15:45– 17:00 Plenary 04: Carbon trading beyond 2012: new approaches and emerging market instruments

GHG emissions markets have proven to be both efficient and effective at reducing emissions and achieving other environmental benefits. Several Latin American and other developing countries have made plans to pilot and test the use of domestic market-based instruments to achieve national low-carbon development objectives and foster clean technologies investments. In the absence of clear signals about international carbon demand in the mid-term, what considerations motivate countries to assess these kind of instruments? This session will look at the emergence of new market instruments and will discuss how they may serve as building blocks for future carbon markets.

Moderator: Ms. Martina Bosi, Senior Carbon Finance Specialist, Carbon Finance Unit, World Bank Panelists:  Mr. Juan Mata, Director, Climate Change Policy, SEMARNAT, Mexico  Mr. John Kilani, Director, Sustainable Development Mechanisms, UNFCCC  Mr. Derik Broekhoff, Vice President, Policy, Climate Action Reserve  Mr. Jorge Barrigh, Senior Managing Partner & Founder, SENGEN, Panama

9:00 – 10:15 Plenary 05: Much ado about NAMAs? Seizing international support for national mitigation action

There is a reassuring level of agreement among international policy-makers and negotiators that developed countries would support Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) in developing countries by finance, technology and capacity building. The UNFCCC Cancún agreements established a concrete foundation for NAMAs. However, many issues, including those on operational framework and financing modalities, still need to be resolved. What is needed to move forward? Panelists will address this core question, based on emerging insights gained from pioneer work in development of NAMA proposals and ongoing efforts to match them with international climate finance.

9:00 – 10:15 Plenary 7: Investment climate for climate investments: mobilizing private resources through public commitments The costs of creating a low-carbon global economy are high. The international mobilization of US$100 billion annually by 2020 for climate action in developing countries, an important political milestone within the UNFCCC negotiations, will require an unprecedented amount of political leadership, public-private collaboration and financial innovation. Even if public finance is delivered at scale, private investment will continue to have a crucial role to play in shaping the configuration of future energy supplies. This session will focus on how public policies and finance can remove the barriers to private sector investment and thereby leverage significant amounts of private capital for climate change mitigation and adaptation.
