國際碳行動合作的狀況報告顯示2016年排放交易是應對氣候變化的斗爭中取得越來越重要。
國際碳行動合作組織（ICAP）狀態報告2016年2月23日發布，凸顯了持續增長和
碳排放交易系統（ETS）在應對氣候變化的斗爭中發揮關鍵作用。事實上，2015年只身看到五個新ETSS在亞洲和北美的公告。報告是在世界各地的
排放權交易，其中突出的重要趨勢，并提供了關于碳
市場的發展中心來一個受過教育的前景上所有活動的年度審查。
巴黎協定發出了一個強烈信號，雄心勃勃和持續的全球氣候行動。通過允許各國使用國際
碳市場，以滿足他們的承諾，該協定已經認識到以市場為基礎的解決方案，以應對氣候變化的成本效益潛力。超過一半的氣候公約締約方均表示，他們計劃使用或考慮他們的合規戰略，利用國際市場。
現在，全球框架到位，重點是落實作出的承諾。未來幾年將會看到氣候的措施，包括排放權交易的激增。截至2016年，已經有17 ETS到位世界各地，覆蓋超過四十億噸的溫室氣體排放量。
亞洲排放權交易的興起
2015亞洲看到的出現作為排放權交易的新熱點，在過去三年中推出，其中包括韓國在今年年初九個新系統。這種強勁的增長將繼續與中國國家ETS公布的2017年，這將使其成為最大的單一碳市場在世界上。 SinoCarbon的碳專家錢國強和陳志斌評估中國在國家碳市場的快速轉型，而韓國環境部討論了韓國國家制度的實施。最后，東京都政府著眼于獨特的城市范圍內的東京限額與交易計劃中的最新創新。
北美認為，在碳市場再度關注
在大西洋彼岸，氣候變化將繼續走高政治議程。曼尼托巴省和安大略這兩個加拿大省份宣布計劃實施ETS，意味著加利福尼亞州和魁北克省西部氣候倡議的碳市場將進一步擴大。在美國的清潔能源計劃（CPP）的批準，也引發了排放交易新的興趣。從區域溫室氣體倡議專家概述如何它的系統可以為遵守CPP提供了一個榜樣。加州空氣資源委員會還回顧了其運作的第一階段，為擴大碳市場的潛力。
與此同時,建立系統正在經歷結構性改革的過程,確保它們繼續發揮有效的作用在減少溫室氣體排放,并適應不斷變化的環境和氣候目標。例如,在歐盟
政策制定者們憑借十年的ETS經驗使他們的系統未來的證明到下一個十年。歐盟委員會(European Commission)提供了一個洞察準備改革歐盟ETS(歐盟ETS),荷蘭排放部門反映,如何簡化歐盟ETS和改進。
這些開創性的系統繼續向世界展示排放交易的靈活性和有效性,并激勵政策制定者目前發展下一代的ETS。
Emissions Trading Worldwide: ICAP Status Report 2016
The International Carbon Action Partnership’s Status Report 2016 shows emissions trading is gaining ever more importance in the fight against climate change.
The International Carbon Action Partnership’s (ICAP) Status Report 2016, released on 23 February, highlights the continuous growth and key role that emissions trading systems (ETS) play in the fight against climate change. Indeed, 2015 alone saw the announcement of five new ETSs in Asia and North America. The Report is a yearly review on all activities in emissions trading around the world, which highlights important trends and provides an educated outlook on central developments in carbon markets to come.
The Paris Agreement sent a strong signal for ambitious and sustained global climate action. By allowing countries to use international carbon markets to meet their commitments, the Agreement has recognized the cost-effectiveness potential of market-based solutions to climate change. Over half of the parties to the UNFCCC have indicated they plan to use or consider using international markets in their compliance strategies.
Now that the global framework is in place, the focus is on implementing the pledges made. The next few years will see a proliferation of climate measures, including emissions trading. As of 2016, there are already 17 ETS in place around the world, covering more than four billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Asia on the rise in emissions trading
2015 saw Asia emerge as the new hotspot for emissions trading, with nine new systems launched in the past three years, including of the Republic of Korea at the beginning of the year. This strong growth is set to continue with the announcement of a national ETS in China for 2017, which would make it the largest single carbon market in the world. SinoCarbon’s carbon experts Qian Guoqiang and Chen Zhibin assess China’s rapid transition to a national carbon market, while the Korean Ministry of Environment discusses the implementation of the Korean national system. Finally, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government looks at recent innovations within the unique city-wide Tokyo Cap-and-Trade Program.
North America sees renewed interest in carbon markets
Across the Atlantic, climate change continues to move up the political agenda. The Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario both announced plans to implement an ETS, implying the Western Climate Initiative carbon market of California and Québec is set to expand even further. The approval of the Clean Power Plan (CPP) in the United States has also sparked renewed interest in emissions trading. Experts from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative outline how its system could provide a role model for compliance with the CPP. The California Air Resources Board also looks back on its first phase of operation and the potential for expanding its carbon market.
Meanwhile, established systems are undergoing a process of structural reform, ensuring they continue to play an effective role in reducing greenhouse gases and adapt to changing circumstances and climate targets. For example, in the EU, policymakers are drawing on a decade of ETS experience to make their system future proof into the next decade. The European Commission provides an insight into the preparations for reform of the European Union ETS (EU ETS), while the Dutch Emissions Authority reflects on how the EU ETS could be simplified and improved.
These pioneering systems continue to demonstrate to the world the flexibility and effectiveness of emissions trading, and inspire policymakers currently developing the next generation of ETS.
