China starts trading carbon

This research paper discusses the introduction of pilot greenhouse gas emission trading schemes (ETS) in China and their implications for the country's approach to climate change and market-based environmental policy.

• China has introduced pilot greenhouse gas emission trading schemes (ETS) to allocate emission rights via market mechanisms, signaling a serious commitment to addressing climate change and a desire to be compared with progressive regions in Europe and North America.
• Despite the introduction of these schemes, the shift toward utilizing markets for energy and environmental management is currently in its initial phases.
