Emissions trading systems with different levels of environmental ambition : implications for linking. Report for the Carbon market policy dialogue
This report was prepared to inform the Carbon Market Policy Dialogue (CMPD) between the European Commission, as the regulator of the EU Emissions Trading System, and the regulatory authorities for the emissions trading systems (ETSs) of California, Québec, China, New Zealand, and Switzerland.
