China is moving ahead on domestic emissions trading. Pilot carbon trading schemes are under development in seven Chinese cities and provinces. Carbon pricing could play an important role in China’s national climate change policy in the future.

Senior visiting Chinese officials and business people, as well as senior Australian officials will discuss current developments in China’s climate change policy and the preparations for emissions trading. They will also explore Australia’s collaboration in support of carbon market development.
