eLibrary EMISSIONS TRADING Version 1.0 (September 2021)
The purpose of this eLibrary is to introduce scientific debates around emissions trading. Several countries have put a price/cost on fossil fuel pollution, but with the price comes a market. Such schemes are viewed by their proponents as vital tools in climate change control and they will be a hot topic over the coming months. Here is a source on their current use

The list is not intended to be exhaustive. For readers new to the topic, we have added three explanatory videos in the ‘How it works’ section. When it comes to the articles, we recommend reading the Abstract and Conclusion first, before deciding whether to invest further in a specific piece. All the pieces are free-online. However, some items have been republished in Academia Edu [AE] and Research Gate [RG]. These can be accessed simply by registering at each (once only).
