Elevate Climate at KraneShares “The Future of Carbon in the Trump Era”

Elevate Climate on What’s Ahead for Carbon Markets Under a Shifting U.S. Political Landscape

Amid the early moves of the new Trump administration—including the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, regulatory rollbacks, and geopolitical realignments—carbon markets are facing a period of deep uncertainty and strategic recalibration. At the same time, state and global programs like California’s cap-and-trade are entering critical reform phases, with implications for pricing, supply, and long-term market design.

In this timely webinar, “The Future of Carbon in the Trump Era,” Clayton Munnings, Co-Founder and CEO of Elevate Climate and former CARB economist, joins Luke Oliver of KraneShares and Eron Bloomgarden of Climate Finance Partners (CLIFI) to unpack what these developments mean for investors, policymakers, and carbon market participants. Topics will include the outlook for California’s auctions and program trajectory, the ripple effects of federal policy on state-led climate efforts, and how to navigate this evolving landscape.
