"At the UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen, 117 heads of state concluded that low-carbon development is necessary in order to combat climate change. However, they could not agree on emission targets. At least one of the reasons why they could not agree is that low-carbon development is challenging because it requires the implementation of a portfolio of policies and programs. This book examines one the policies at the heart of attempts to create a low-carbon future: the European Emission Trading Scheme. It explores problems surrounding the implementation of such schemes, including the role of vested interests, the impact of subtle design details, and opportunities to attract long-term investments. It also shows how international climate cooperation can be designed to support the domestic implementation of policies for low-carbon development. This timely analysis of carbon pricing contains important lessons for all those concerned with the development of post-Copenhagen climate policy"--
"At the UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen, 117 heads of state concluded in the Copenhagen Accord low-emission development is necessary. However, at the end of a two year negotiation marathon, they could not agree on emission targets. In the following months 83 countries submitted proposals for Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions to the UNFCCC secretariat, thus supporting the Accord and gradually rebuilding momentum for international climate cooperation"--
