Combating Global Warming: Possible Rules,
Regulations and Administrative Arrangements for a Global Market in CO2 Emission
Entitlements
Leading industrial countries have committed themselves to limiting emissions
of greenhouse gases to their 1990 levels by the year 2000. This publication
explores the institutional requirements for both policy-making and the organization
of a global market in carbon dioxide emission allowances. Part I discusses
the possible administrative structure and procedures for implementing a
tradeable entitlement approach to controlling global warming. Part II discusses
model rules and regulations for a global carbon dioxide emissions credit
market. It demonstrates that a simple pilot scheme can evolve gradually
to a more complete system and states that it is not too soon for the launching
of such a pilot scheme between major emitters.
