Description: At the UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen 117 heads of state concluded that low - carbon development is necessary in order to combat climate change. However they also understood that transition to a low - carbon economy requires the implementation of a portfolio of policies and programs - a challenging endeavour for any nation. This book addresses the need for information about factors impacting climate policy implementation using as a case study one effort that is at the heart of attempts to create a low - carbon future: the European Emission Trading Scheme. It explores problems surrounding the implementation of the ETS including the role of vested interests the impact of design details and opportunities to attract long - term investments. It also shows how international climate cooperation can be designed to support the domestic implementation of low - carbon policies. This timely analysis of carbon pricing contains important lessons for all those concerned with the development of post - Copenhagen climate policy.
