Abstract
Along with the rapid development of economy, China has become the leading emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. Carbon emissions trading system is an important tool and means to response to climate change effectively and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. At present, Chinese carbon trading market is still in its infancy, and there are many deficiencies: legal system is imperfect and carbon source monitoring regulation is lax, the variety of trading is single, China does not have pricing power of carbon emissions and the layouts of trading platform are not reasonable. Through using the implementation experience of the EU emissions trading system, we construct Chinese carbon trading mechanism based on total control principle: voluntary trading market should be carried out fist and mandatory transaction will be implemented when market condition is sufficient. According to the quotas allocation from free to auction, mandatory transaction shall be implemented in there stages.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
