Document Summary:

Compliance Carbon Markets (CCMs), or Emissions Trading Systems (ETS) markets, fall under two broad categories. The first and most widely used type of compliance carbon market, also called “cap-and-trade”, is set by “cap-and-trade” regulations. In these markets, carbon emission allowances for domestic firms and sectors are issued by governmental organizations.

The report includes a total of twelve recommendations relating to primary market functioning, transparency and predictability of primary market decisions; market structures for primary markets, covering allowance allocation mechanisms, market stability mechanisms and primary market access; and secondary market functioning, with particular focus on market integrity, transparency and structure.
