Linking Emissions Trading Systems in the Paris Agreement era: prospects, opportunities, challenges

Speakers: Jos Delbeke (EUI) and Robert Stavins (Harvard)
Moderator: Simone Borghesi (EUI)

Over the past few years, the number of operating or planned Emissions Trading Systems (ETSs) around the world has been increasing and relevant experience with some already well-established ETSs has been accumulated. This fact and the context laid out by Article 6 of the Paris Agreement suggests that in the near future the international carbon market might be reinvigorated by new linkages between existing ETSs.

In this online debate, Jos Delbeke and Robert Stavins will discuss the current prospects for ETS linking as well as the opportunities and the challenges for the jurisdictions that do consider linking their ETSs.
