Summary, in English

The Chinese government is acutely aware of the problem of climate change. In the crucial crossroads, carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS), a kind of market-based instruments based on cap-and-trade, has become the new hope of carbon governance and the most important measure adopted to mitigate climate change. Based on the description and analysis on the ongoing process of pilot ETS in China and its policy and legal basis, we may draw a conclusion on the important problems at present and what China can do to achieve a sustainable development of national ETS in the future.
