歐盟委員會與英國政府宣布達成協議,將致力于通過連接雙方的
碳排放交易體系(ETS)實現碳
市場互聯。自英國脫歐以來,兩套
碳市場體系一直獨立發展。根據擬議的對接協議,歐盟或英國發放的
碳配額未來有望在彼此管轄區內獲得互認,滿足對方的溫室氣體排放交易體系合規要求。

EU, UK to Work on Linking Carbon Markets
The European Commission and the government of the UK announced today an agreement to work towards linking their carbon markets through establishing a link between their emissions trading systems (ETS), which have been developing separately since Brexit.
Under the envisioned linkage agreement, carbon allowances issued by the EU or UK could be recognized as complying with the greenhouse gas emissions trading system of the other jurisdiction.
