This case study incorporates all Chinese government measures over the past six years related to the development of China’s emissions trading policies. The authors have reviewed all relevant government documents to inform this case study. It is divided into two parts: a summary of the seven ETS pilots in China to date, followed by a progress report on China’s national emissions trading system (ETS) which is currently under development. This case study is a joint project of IETA and CDC Climat Research.
