LAWS13-128: Climate Change and Emissions Trading Law

Climate Change and Emissions Trading Law is an elective subject in undergraduate programs offered by the Faculty of Law. The subject focuses on the law and practice in markets for trading of carbon credits arising from reductions of emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). It examines the various international frameworks and policies for climate change mitigation. Legal rules in domestic frameworks for regulation of GHG emissions in Europe, USA, China, New Zealand, and Australia are examined and contextualised through an exploration of issues for design of access regimes, linkages, and complementary measures.
