Abstract

The chapter describes the latest evolutions of international agreements on climate change. The “externality” that emissions of greenhouse gases produce, i.e. the fact that their effect on future generations is not included in the price of economic activities that generate them, can be dealt with through different policies. The Chapter therefore exposes the economic theory of carbon markets as an efficient policy to address this problem. The chapter concludes with an explanation of the way that the European Union has implemented a carbon market since 2005 and how the policy has evolved since. This market is the subject of the subsequent chapters.

Fußnoten
1
An externality refers to the consequence that an economic activity has on others that is not reflected in market prices. In this context, emissions negatively affect future generations by causing climate change, but emitters do not pay for the harm they generate and it is therefore not integrated into prices.
