Research Handbook on Emissions Trading

"Emissions trading allows established emission goals to be met in the most cost-effective way by letting the market determine the lowest-cost pollution abatement opportunities. This book examines the origins, implementation challenges and international dimensions of emissions trading. It follows an interdisciplinary approach drawing on law, economics and at times, political science, to present relevant research strands regarding emissions trading. This Handbook is intended to help decision makers, policy practitioners, and stakeholders achieve this goal.
