The world’s carbon markets: a case study guide to emissions trading

Around the world, policymakers are facing the challenge of finding the most efficient systems to limit global warming pollution. Nations, states, provinces and cities are increasingly using efficient, market-based emissions trading programs as a way to cut carbon, forming a world of “bottom-up” climate actions. In fact, 10 percent of the world’s population and a third of its GDP now come from areas implementing carbon caps. Environmental Defense Fund has partnered with the International Emissions Trading Association (IETA) to create The World's Carbon Markets: A case study guide to emissions trading.
