Climate Policy Hill Briefing on Carbon Market Design & Oversight in a U.S. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Cap-and-Trade System
Briefing on Carbon Market Design & Oversight in a U.S. Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Cap-and-Trade System
June 26, 2009
The Pew Center on Global Climate Change and the Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions at Duke University held a briefing on the design and oversight of a successful carbon market. The briefing was jointly hosted by the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
As Congress debates climate change legislation, one of the most critical yet least discussed issues is the development and oversight of a well-functioning carbon commodity market. This briefing framed and discussed many of the central issues in this process, including: overall market design, options for the choice of regulator, the role and importance of the derivatives market, the role of the Over-the-Counter (OTC) market, and the types of rules and enforcement necessary to prevent market manipulation and abuses.
This series was made possible through a generous grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, but the opinions expressed herein are solely those of the presenters.
