自几个主要亚太经济体宣布加入以来，全球碳交易体系已初具规模。作为最大的温室气体排放国，中国可能是最突出的新来者。该国正在实行试点排放量交易计划，并有可能发展成为一项国家计划。该倡议的主要动机是预期的经济效益，而不是环境承诺。由于缺乏我们在西方世界所知道的自由政治经济体系，可行性是不确定的。碳交易理论正在一个不同寻常的地方接受考验，无论是在实践上还是在理论上都具有巨大的影响。
A global carbon trading system has gained shape since several major Asia-Pacific economies declared their participation. As the largest national source of greenhouse gases, China is probably the most prominent newcomer. Pilot emission trading schemes are being introduced in this country with prospects for developing into a national scheme. The initiative is primarily motivated by expected economic benefits rather than environmental commitments. Viability is uncertain due to the absence of a liberal political–economic system as we know in the western world. The theory of carbon trading is being tested in an unusual place, with huge implications, both practically and theoretically.
