Regenerative Energie
The meme for carbon markets in 2013 is the increased utilisation of domestic emissions trading as a primary policy tool across a broad spectrum of UNFCCC Parties. Previous issues of the CCLR have addressed developments in China, South Korea, Japan and other jurisdictions. In this issue of 'In the Marketâ€, we will briefly review how Kazakhstan is implementing its emissions trading scheme and the implications of this scheme for the wider region. This article is based on a Workshop sponsored by the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development held in Astana on 20 June 2013, at which both the authors were present.
In 2012, Kazakhstan began to create a domestic emissions trading system (ETS), which has led to a pilot phase commencing in January of this year. The ETS will help the country achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 7% below 1990 levels by 2020, and it allows Kazakhstan to claim the title of being the first Asian nation to undertake an economy-wide cap on its emissions. Prior to the implementation of an emissions trading system, Kazakhstan had put in place a policy to reduce energy consumption per unit of GDP by 15 % by 2015 and 25 % by 2020. Kazakhstan is now a signatory to the Kyoto Protocol, with an inscription in Annex B for a GHG reduction of 5% below baseline levels by 2020.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
