Developing Carbon Market Linkages in Asia and the Pacific


New approaches under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement provide opportunities for linking emission trading schemes (ETS) between jurisdictions. This can be useful for Asia and Pacific economies by increasing the liquidity of a carbon market, offering regulated entities additional abatement opportunities, and reducing the cost of achieving the combined emissions caps of linked ETS. This webinar sought to understand the theoretical underpinnings and practical implementation of ETS linkages in the Asia and Pacific region.
