IETA means International Emissions Trading Association which is a non-profit organization of Geneva, Switzerland who is conducting a three-day Asia Climate Summit in New Delhi, India where people from around the world were present to be in association with IETA. This organisation has been operational since 1999 and works as the voice of business on ambitious, market based climate change solutions etc.
They also work for trading systems for emissions reduction and removals that are environmentally robust, fair, open, efficient, accountable, and consistent across national boundaries. When someone becomes the member of IETA, then they join a network of over 300 leading international organisations and gain access to vital policy insights, advocacy opportunities and a robust network of professionals dedicated to environmental sustainability.

The International Emissions Trading Association or IETA represents carbon investors, project developers and technical experts. Their goal is to support large-scale emissions reductions to combat climate change. The IETA believes that emissions trading is effective because it’s economically efficient, delivers a clear price signal and is designed to deliver an environmental objective. A special interactive session was conducted for the media persons as well which was on carbon markets in Asia.
