Implications of Linking National Emission Trading Schemes Prior to the Start of the First Commitment Period of the Kyoto Protocol

Bode, Sven - 2014

After greenhouse gas emission trading on country level had been proposed by the Kyoto Protocol agreed on in 1997, a discussion on the introduction of national schemes with entities as participants ensued. This discussion also raised the question if and how such systems can be linked. We first...

A Multi-Gas Approach to Climate Policy - with and Without Gwps

Manne, Alan Sussmann; Richels, Richard G. - 2013

When dealing with multiple greenhouse gases, we need some way to establish equivalence among gases. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has suggested the use of global warming potentials (GWPs) for making such trade-offs. We begin by examining the implications of such an...
