The application of economic instruments is the latest development and trend in environmental policy reform and innovation. Emission trading, one of the most effective environmental economic policies, is being used effectively in addressing regional pollution problems and global environmental issues. During the 11th Five-Year Plan, with the urgent targets of energy-saving and emission reduction, the Chinese government has been actively developing the emission trading system. In this context, Chinese Academy of Environmental Planning, Ministry of Environmental Protection and School of Environment, Nanjing University, are jointly holding the International Workshop on Emission Trading Programs.
