What is carbon trading?
$
Right to emit Right Emission Right Emission
Economic basis: Property rights Carbon pricing: a solution to negative externality caused by carbon emission/climate change Demand vs Supply Political basis: International law Kyoto Protocol Operational basis: ET, CDM, JI Trading vehicle: Allowance, Emission Reduction Unit

What is the ultimate goal of carbon trading?
Reduce overall carbon emissions in a most cost efficient way Mitigate Climate Change For the 1st time drive human being jointly combat with a global issue of negative externality A trigger to reshape the economy
This is a vision of the future that goes beyond just surviving or enduring climate change, beyond “mitigating” and “adapting” to it in the grim language of the United Nations. It is a vision in which we collectively use the crisis to leap somewhere that seems, frankly, better than where we are right now.

Verified emissions of EU capped emitters

The capped emissions decreased while the global dependence on the fossil fuel increased. Carbon leakage happened and carbon bubble may occur if all the efforts including carbon pricing mechanism do not work.
