欧盟委员会与英国政府宣布达成协议,将致力于通过连接双方的
碳排放交易体系(ETS)实现碳
市场互联。自英国脱欧以来,两套
碳市场体系一直独立发展。根据拟议的对接协议,欧盟或英国发放的
碳配额未来有望在彼此管辖区内获得互认,满足对方的温室气体排放交易体系合规要求。

EU, UK to Work on Linking Carbon Markets
The European Commission and the government of the UK announced today an agreement to work towards linking their carbon markets through establishing a link between their emissions trading systems (ETS), which have been developing separately since Brexit.
Under the envisioned linkage agreement, carbon allowances issued by the EU or UK could be recognized as complying with the greenhouse gas emissions trading system of the other jurisdiction.
