{"product_id":"emissions-trading-schemes-under-international-james-munro-9780198828709","title":"Emissions Trading Schemes Under International Economic Law","description":"The announcement by China that it will implement a national emissions trading scheme confirms the status of this instrument as the pre-eminent policy choice for mitigating climate change. China will join the dozens of existing and emerging schemes around the world - from the EU to California, \u003cbr\u003eSouth Korea to New Zealand - that use carbon units (otherwise known as emissions permits or carbon credits) to trade in greenhouse gas emissions in a multi-billion dollar global carbon market. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHowever, to date, there has been no consensus about this pre-eminent policy instrument being regulated by international economic law through the World Trade Organization, international investment agreements, and free trade agreements. Munro addresses this issue by evaluating whether carbon units\u003cbr\u003equalify as 'goods', 'services', 'financial services', and 'investments' under international economic law and showing how international economic law applies to emissions trading scheme in diverse and unexpected ways. Further, by engaging in a comparative assessment of schemes around the world, his\u003cbr\u003ebook illustrates how and why all emissions trading schemes engage in various forms of violations of international economic law which would not, in most instances, be justified by environmental or other exceptions. In doing so, he demonstrates how such schemes can be designed or reformed in ways to\u003cbr\u003eensure their future compliance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Munro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198828705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198828709\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/16\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 0.80d","brand":"James Munro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47001088393471,"sku":"9780198828709","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3b24acfc-a6af-4be4-ba5a-c294c499a4fb.jpg?v=1751600030","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emissions-trading-schemes-under-international-james-munro-9780198828709","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
