Environmental Markets Conference (EMC) 2027

The Environmental Markets Conference (EMC), organized by the Alliance for Environmental Markets & Investments (AEMI), is a leading convening that connects and convenes professionals engaged in environmental markets and nature‑based solutions. Through its flagship conference, AEMI brings together leaders from business, government, and academia to accelerate the development of effective and high‑integrity environmental markets. EMC serves as a neutral, solutions‑focused platform for “connecting mitigation, conservation and restoration markets” across wetlands, streams, carbon, water quality and quantity, and related environmental markets, with the aim of improving resiliency and sustainability through increased investment, collaboration, transparency, efficiency, and accountability. The conference convenes decision‑makers from across industry sectors, resource agencies, NGOs, foundations, and financial institutions, supporting collaboration, education, and investment in market‑based environmental solutions that deliver economic and public benefit while advancing restoration, climate action, and sustainable outcomes.

The European Union passed a new Restoration Law mandating quantitative targets for land restoration. The UNFCCC, UNCBD and UNCCD Conferences of the Parties (COPs), held during the last quarter of the year, reinforced land restoration as a crucial solution to combat land degradation, biodiversity loss and climate change.
