    China and the EU to Lead International Efforts on Climate Change Mitigation. The Chinese and the EU ETS
    in Europe en formation (L') , n. 370, 2013/4 ,  2014 ,  85 à 100
    Climate change is an international challenge faced by the entire human race. As the biggest emitters of green-house gases (GHGs) and the advocates with the biggest emissions trading scheme (ETS), China and the EU weigh heavily on international climate change mitigation efforts. This article compares the EU and Chinese emissions trading schemes along three dimensions: motivations and evolution; design; and the challenges and opportunities for China-EU cooperation. It argues that the Chinese and EU systems have differed in terms of the centralization of authority and emissions allocations, and that these differences can be the ground for an exchange of information as to best practices. It also explores the structural differences and similarities of the two schemes in order to showcase the room for improvement and to caution about potential risks.
