Project description
 

This research will evaluate the legal context for emissions trading in green gas gasses in China. Starting with international emissions trading between countries parties to the Kyoto Protocol, a legal assessment will be made of emissions trading in the EU and in the USA. These emissions trading schemes will be used as models for China, either for internal emissions trading or for linking Chinese emissions trading with the EU emissions schema.
