Rezensionen

"Linking of carbon markets has been lauded in theory for a long time, in order to improve liquidity and bring down compliance costs further. But actual linking progress has been rather meagre. This book provides an excellent overview and analysis of the EU's linking history and helps us understand better the gap between theory and practice in this field." -- Jørgen Wettestad, Research Professor Fridtjof Nansen Insitute, Norway

"Charlotte Unger raises fascinating and important questions related to the rise of emissions trading systems in different parts of the world and the factors which have promoted or inhibited efforts to link these systems, so as to create even bigger carbon trading markets. She highlights the climate benefits that could come from linking, while pointing out how domestic political factors can either boost or block linking efforts. This book will be a must-read for all those interested in developments globally related to emission trading systems." -- Miranda Schreurs, Professor of Environment and Climate Policy, Technical University of Munich, Germany
