| Abstract | This paper proposes an intenational cap and trade system to address the climate issue. The global cumulative anthropogenic CO2 cap from industrial revolution to the middle of 21st century that could limite the global warming within 2°C is entitled equally to each individual person. So each country’s emission account is entitled with an original budget based on its population. Currently, the developed economies run huge deficits while developing ones surpluses. But it is not the case that deficit-counties are not allowed to emit in the coming four decades. On the contrary, this proposal allowed those countries with higher emission productivity to emit more than their original budget if and only if they could balance their account by the middle of 21st century throw the approaches such as buing from other countries, technology transfer, etc. That emission trade arrangement will lead to efficient allocation of scarce emission cap. |
