  • Description: As a result of its rapid industrialization, China is appearing as a major contributor to global warming. Notwithstanding the growing pressures on China from the international communities relative to climate issues, China has not been ready to accept a carbon cap. As the global warming has become an hazardous issue around the globe, can China be engaged to tackle climate change issues on its own initiative, and what is the best way for China to achieve meaningful reductions in GHG emissions? Generally speaking, there are three options for regulating GHG emissions in quantities considered necessary to be an effective mitigation strategy: traditional command-and-control (CAC) regulation, tradable permit markets, and taxes. This Article will explore the imposition of a carbon tax in China
