China has unveiled details of its first pilot carbon-trading programme, which will begin next month in the southern city of Shenzhen.
The trading scheme will cover 638 companies responsible for 38% of the city's total emissions, the Shenzhen branch of the powerful National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) announced on Wednesday . The scheme will eventually expand to include transportation, manufacturing and construction companies.
Shenzhen is one of seven designated areas in which the central government plans to roll out experimental carbon trading programmes before 2014 .
China is the world's biggest carbon emitter and burns almost as much coal as the rest of the world's countries combined .
Li Yan, Greenpeace east Asia's climate and energy campaign manager, said that the pilot programmes will inform the central government on how to motivate local ... |

As outlined in Article 4.7 of the Convention, developing countries need support for finance, technology and capacity. Without these, the developing countries are clear that their efforts to take any action will suffer.

EU parliamentarians vote against propping up carbon prices

Proposal to artificially boost carbon prices fails to receive support, sends prices crashing further
The emissions trading system of the European Union, also called EU ETS, has been dealt a bad hand in a recent vote to boost the price of carbon and to incentivize low-carbon growth in Europe. The Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard’s proposal for withholding carbon allowances from the market was narrowly voted against in a parliamentary session on April 16, 2013. Such “backloading” would have propped up the price of carbon in the near-term, a “short-term measure” to help the ailing emissions trading system which is Europe’s flagship climate policy. |

EU climate chief vows to save scheme

17.4.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Connie Hedegaard's attempts to introduce longer-term reforms will face fierce opposition from a powerful business lobby
Europe's climate chief vowed on Wednesday to fight on to save the EU's flagship environmental policy, the emissions trading system (ETS), after a serious blow on Tuesday when MEPs rejected reforms aimed at repairing the ailing system .
MEPs voted 334 against to 315 in favour of "backloading" the market – a proposal aimed to reverse the plummeting price of carbon that has resulted from a surplus of permits in the ETS market – leading the price of carbon to fall by almost half to under €3 on Tuesday.
Connie Hedegaard, EU commissioner for climate action, said: "We are preparing structural [longer-term reforms]. We will have new meetings for stakeholders, in parallel with an impact assessment. We are preparing an initiative." The proposals include measures to restrict rights to carbon permits under the system, and to allow for reviews of the number of permits companies ... |

MEPs reject proposed reform of emissions trading scheme
|
16.4.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Green campaigners condemn the defeat as a 'monumental failure' to mend the carbon trading market
The EU's flagship scheme for cutting carbon emissions suffered one of the most serious setbacks in its chequered history on Tuesday, when MEPs voted against a proposal to shore up the price of carbon in the emissions trading scheme.
The proposed reform – known as "backloading" – aimed to reverse the plummeting price of carbon that has resulted from a surplus of permits in the ETS market. If successful, the reform would have resulted in the postponement of a series of auctions of carbon permits.
But MEPs voted 334 against the reform, with 315 in favour, leading green campaigners to condemn the defeat as a "monumental failure" to mend the carbon trading market, which is Europe's flagship climate policy and the biggest in the world. "They have lost all credibility on climate leadership," said Doug Parr, Greenpeace UK's chief scientist.

Ethiopia enlists help of forest communities to reverse deforestation | Mark Tran
|
15.4.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Despite taking years to establish the first projects, growth in forest cover and increasing incomes for the communities involved have enabled bigger schemes to begin
When the Ethiopian government realised that outright bans on cutting down trees failed to stop deforestation, it instead turned to a strategy based on enlisting the help of forest communities.
The first participatory forest management (PFM) schemes were piloted 15 years ago. Based on signs of success, PFM is being rolled out in larger areas. A particularly ambitious scheme is taking place in the mountains of Bale in the southern region of Oromia, where the authorities are applying PFM to 500,000 hectares (1.24m acres) of forest in a project run by Farm Africa , a British NGO in partnership with SOS Sahel, a local NGO.
Ethiopia has experienced massive deforestation. From a baseline of perhaps 40% forest cover in the 16th century, the country is down to 4.6%, a result of 0.8% deforestation a year. Pressure on forests comes ... |
