The Copenhagen Prediction Market

Got predictions on the outcome of COP15? Ready to put your (experimental) money where your mouth is? If yes, drop your thoughts in The Copenhagen Prediction Market.During the COP15 conference, the Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets (CEEM) with sponsorship from Baker McKenzie is hosting an online prediction market on outcomes of the event. Carbon wonks inside and outside the Bella Center can influence probability forecasts and throw down experimental dollars on questions such as: the deadline for a legislation, design for a REDD mechanism, long term stabilization targets and much, much more. Aside from entertainment and glory, participants with the top three highest portfolio values will walk away with their very own Gold Standard CERs.
