Carbon Cap and Trade in China: From Experimentation to Nationalization?

Dec 3, 2014 Webcast

About the Event

Jeremy Schreifels, Liu Shuang, and Hong Jian Wu at RFF

Seven pilot cap-and-trade programs for carbon currently operate in China as experiments to inform a nationwide program under design at present and slated to start in 2016. At this RFF First Wednesday Seminar, RFF’s Clayton Munnings and Richard Morgenstern will present key findings from a recent RFF discussion paper, which assesses the design of three of the pilot programs, in Guangdong, Shanghai and Shenzhen. RFF’s Zhongmin Wang will then moderate a diverse panel, where experts will provide their thoughts on the pilot cap-and-trade programs and discuss the prospects of nationalizing cap and trade in China.
