Québec : an emissions trading scheme case study
I4CE, EDF (Environmental Defense Fund) and IETA (International Emissions Trading Association) have published, in partnership, a series of detailed case studies on North American carbon markets released in April 2015.
Québec is the first Canadian province to establish an emissions trading scheme and after recently linking with California’s cap-and-trade program, is now part of the largest North American carbon market. The study explores the evolution of the Québec program, as well as the benefits and challenges of linking emissions trading schemes.
