China’s national carbon market began trading in July 2021. Its carbon price and trading volume, however, were both well below expectations. Meanwhile, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) proposal is moving towards the final stage of its legislative process. How will EU’s ‘green tariff’ impact China’s carbon market? How can foreign enterprises participate in China’s carbon trading? When will the China Certified Emission Reduction (CCER) scheme be relaunched?
