Trading in the right to emit greenhouse gases is emerging as one of the foundations of climate-change policy. Trading is widely recognised to be a way to reduce emissions cheaply, because it permits flexibility in where and how firms make their reductions. The EU has been at the forefront, with the establishment of an Emissions Trading Scheme or ETS. Now Australia and the north-eastern states of the United States have signalled their keenness to introduce carbon trading, and even to connect their schemes to Europe?s scheme. In fact, worldwide trading in carbon has already in effect begun, because firms in industrialised countries can buy emission reductions in developing countries, for example through what is known as the Clean Development Mechanism, one of the successes of the Kyoto Protocol. To illustrate how quickly these markets are developing, pension funds are now signing deals to finance clean household cooking stoves in China.
