Analyse : Le système européen d’échange de quotas d’émissions de CO2

Le système européen d’échange de quotas d’émissions de CO2 (UE-ETS) est-il efficace et efficient? Ce rapport de l’atelier de l’Université de la Colombia sur l’UE-ETS, publié par Notre Europe, propose des réponses détaillées à ces questions. 

The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) has just completed its first year of operation. This ‘cap-and-trade’ programme, designed to help European Union Member States meet their Kyoto Protocol targets, sets a cap on carbon dioxide emissions from a number of key industrial sectors across Europe and allows trading among affected installations. The success of this regime and its ability to reduce greenhouse gases emissions will be decided by how effectively it is implemented. Yet, the flexibility that the EU ETS directive provides to Member States raises potential challenges and concerns for administering key programme elements across Member States. In response, Notre Europe tasked a group in Columbia University’s Master of Public Administration Program in Environmental Science and Policy to investigate and report on the implementation and administration of the EU ETS.
