in March of 2002 as the world's first economy-wide greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme and runs until December
of 2006. Officials from the United Kingdom Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) will present
an overview of the components of the UK ETS as well as their experiences with the European Union trading scheme.
Issues to be covered include challenges encountered during development; design aspects such as coverage, allocation,
and offsets; market performance; institutional arrangements and potential linkage opportunities; and the international
carbon market of Kyoto protocol CDM and JI offset projects. |
