Carbon Pricing

Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) have been hailed as a game changer for the evolving climate crisis. This book provides an in-depth analysis of China's carbon ETS, including its legal and policy frameworks, carbon market mechanisms, and international and comparative implications. With nine cutting-edge topics divided into three thematic parts, this comprehensive book probes the essential concepts, contemporary research, and key elements of carbon emissions trading in China. Multidisciplinary in scope, the book draws on insights from law, policy, economics, environmental management, and geopolitics, to provide a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the development of carbon emissions trading in China. Placing China's carbon ETS within the broader context of international efforts to address climate change, it provides a comparative perspective with international value. This book will be an essential resource for scholars and researchers of international and comparative climate law and policy, environmental management, economics, and climate politics. It will prove an indispensable guide for students of Chinese law, climate law, environmental policy, and comparative environmental law. Practitioners, policymakers, and government officials working in climate governance seeking the state-of-the-art of the development of ETS in China will also benefit greatly from its insights.

After years of existential crisis, Europe has found a new raison d'être: the European Green Deal and the energy transition that lies at its core. This green Europe represents a normative vision, an economic growth strategy, as well as a route to a political Union that would enhance EU integration and legitimacy. But it can only be realized if it addresses head-on the social, economic, political and geopolitical ramifications of this epochal change. In A Green and Global Europe, Nathalie Tocci explains how the unprecedented nature of the current energy transition represents both a unique opportunity and a huge challenge to Europe's future prosperity. The EU, she argues, must not act in isolation or ignore the adverse effects of the transition on Member States and neighbours. It must also address the global cleavages that may arise with China, the transatlantic relationship and the Global South as a result of the EU's green agenda. By adopting a truly global approach to the energy transition, Europe can deliver on its responsibilities to people and planet alike, and avoid unleashing social, economic and security problems that could come biting back at the Union.

Scaling up carbon pricing initiatives is essential, especially in times of a fragmented climate regime, carbon border adjustment mechanisms, and a growing need to increase ambition and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This book starts with the international climate framework and explores the design elements and main legal challenges of implementing the emissions trading system in Europe, particularly in Germany, as well as the positive elements that could be transferred to other countries, especially Brazil, when structuring this kind of carbon pricing initiative.

Alors que le coût du carbone émis va croître dans les prochaines années en France et en Europe, situation entraînant des inquiétudes sur la compétitivité de l'industrie, les auteurs livrent une synthèse de la littérature économique empirique sur les conséquences des politiques de tarification du carbone dans ce contexte, ainsi qu'une réflexion sur les possibles mesures publiques.
