The Enlightenment of Foreign Initial Carbon Emission Quota Allocation Methods to China

摘要

Environmental protection has always been the focus of our policy. Reducing carbon emissions has already been a common view among countries. China has also launched pilot projects in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen. The implementation of carbon emissions trading mechanism needs to consider many factors. Among them, how to allocate the initial carbon emission quota is one of the most important issues. The choice of initial quota allocation method will directly affect the transfer of emission reduction costs among the participants and the overall cost of emission reduction. This paper summarizes the experience of carbon emission trading quota allocation in some countries and puts forward the quota allocation way of China's initial carbon emission.
