Held at Wuhan University in China, the gathering is attended by delegates from 24 countries; its goal is to boost carbon market efficiency to foster a comprehensive green transformation, Romero posted on his Facebook page.

This is one of eight capacity-building courses scheduled by China through 2026 within the framework of South-South Cooperation, reflecting the Asian nation’s commitment to supporting countries advancing in the fight against climate change.

Through lectures, masterclasses, exchanges on carbon market development mechanisms, and field visits to key institutions, the Cuban specialist is gaining top-tier practical and theoretical knowledge.

This training is of great importance to the island, given that the groundwork for carbon market activities was laid in 2025 and the Technical Unit for the Carbon Market in Cuba was established.

This service is an economic mechanism allowing for the buying and selling of greenhouse gas emission allowances, aiming to incentivize emission reductions by assigning a price to carbon.

Romero, who represents the provincial delegation of the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Environment in Ciego de Avila, is a journalist for the Cuban News Agency specializing in environmental issues, thereby combining environmental management with the reporting of these topics.
