Political barriers to ETS linking.

[Joseph Dellatte]

Dear Colleagues,

In these times of intense discussions around the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism and Climate clubs, I am pleased to share our last research paper, published in Environmental Politics, analyzing the political barriers to linking Emissions Trading Schemes of countries with diverging climate ambitions and political-economic characteristics. 

Studying the crucial Northeast Asian region, we take a deep dive into the perception of carbon pricing international cooperation. We surveyed a wide range of stakeholders from China, Japan, and Korea involved in negotiating the Paris Agreement Article 6 rulebook.

Our results find three different kinds of political barriers challenging to overcome, revealing profound confidence issues between partners.
