dc.description.abstractMarket-based approaches, particularly the emissions trading schemes, are broadly utilised by the developed world in order to reduce the greenhouse gases emissions, which are the main course of global climate change. All the existing schemes and schemes to be introduced play an important role in one country’s national climate change policies. China, as the largest contributor to the greenhouse gases emissions in the world, has also shown its intention to introduce an emissions trading scheme. However, there is no national regulatory framework or policy for carbon trading market in China. Thus, successful experience from the existing schemes and the good intentions in proposed ones are worthwhile for China to learn. This project seeks to review and undertake comparative analyses of emissions trading schemes and sustainable energy policies between China and other countries, particularly in the context of international treaties and initiatives on climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies. Both published literature and some survey information are collected and critically analysed, and recommendations on both effective emissions trading schemes and sustainable energy policies are developed for China to implement the national initiatives and strategies in relation to the climate change adaptation and mitigation. Through comparative study, how emissions trading scheme, one of the market-based approaches, can mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions will be illustrated. Therefore, the establishment of a national carbon market will be proved as an efficient approach for China to curb greenhouse gas emissions and reduce energy intensity.
