China starts trading carbon

The document discusses the introduction of pilot greenhouse gas emission trading schemes (ETS) in China, noting that the shift toward market-based allocation of emission rights signals a serious commitment to addressing climate change and a desire for parity with progressive regions in Europe and North America. However, the authors maintain that the transition toward market-driven energy and environmental policies is still in its early stages.

• The introduction of pilot greenhouse gas emission trading schemes (ETS) in China indicates the government's serious approach to climate change and its ambition to be compared with progressive regions in North America and Europe that use emissions trading.
• The shift toward using markets for energy and environmental management in China is currently in its very early stages.
