Linking Emissions Trading Systems in the Paris Agreement era: prospects, opportunities, challenges

Over the past few years, the number of operating or planned Emissions Trading Systems (ETSs) around the world has been increasing and relevant experience with some already well-established ETSs has been accumulated. This fact and the context laid out by Article 6 of the Paris Agreement suggests that in the near future the international carbon market might be reinvigorated by new linkages between existing ETSs.

In this first online debate of the LIFE DICET project co-financed by the European Commission, Jos Delbeke and Robert Stavins discussed the current prospects for ETS linking as well as the opportunities and the challenges for the jurisdictions that do consider linking their ETSs.

• Speakers: Jos Delbeke, Professor at EUI and Robert Stavins, professor at the University of Harvard
• Moderator: Simone Borghesi, Director of FSR Climate
