本文介绍了温室气体排放交易机制,并探讨了碳交易的前景。本文件第一部分概述了世界各地的若干强制性温室气体交易计划。第二部分重点分析了碳交易的未来发展趋势。报告认为,新办法的出现、现有办法的逐步扩大以及将现有和计划中的办法联系起来的意愿似乎表明排放量交易在地域、时间和部门方面都有扩大的趋势。然而,这种扩大需要克服一些相当大的技术和非技术障碍。将现有的和新出现的贸易计划联系起来,不仅需要大量的技术修正和不同贸易制度的协调,而且还需要明确的监管和政策信号、持续的政治支持和更稳定的经济环境。目前,这些因素都缺失了。全球经济动荡及其对碳市场的影响,缺乏界定后京都承诺的气候变化国际协议,以及一些国家的不利政策转变,使人们对扩大排放量交易产生了严重怀疑,并表明碳交易进入了一个不确定的时期。(C)2011爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
This paper looks at the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trading schemes and examines the prospects of carbon trading. The first part of the paper gives an overview of several mandatory GHG trading schemes around the world. The second part focuses on the future trends in carbon trading. It argues that the emergence of new schemes, a gradual enlargement of the current ones, and willingness to link existing and planned schemes seem to point towards geographical, temporal and sectoral expansion of emissions trading. However, such expansion would need to overcome some considerable technical and non-technical obstacles. Linking of the current and emerging trading schemes requires not only considerable technical fixes and harmonisation of different trading systems, but also necessitates clear regulatory and policy signals, continuing political support and a more stable economic environment. Currently, the latter factors are missing. The global economic turmoil and its repercussions for the carbon market, a lack of the international deal on climate change defining the Post-Kyoto commitments, and unfavourable policy shifts in some countries, cast serious doubts on the expansion of emissions trading and indicate that carbon trading enters an uncertain period.
