| SESSION 1 – THE ETS HANDBOOK: FROM THEORY TO PRACTICE | ||
This session provided an opportunity for ETS experts and practitioners to discuss the practicalities of establishing and operating an Emissions Trading System (ETS) – as covered “step-by-step” in the ETS Handbook which was launched on this occasion. Discussions have looked at how past experience and insight gained can be leveraged in new contexts to develop customized solutions to ETS design and implementation challenges. |
