There is no integrated regime governing efforts to limit the extent of climate change. Instead, there is a regime complex: a loosely-coupled set of specific regimes. We describe the regime complex for climate change and seek to explain it, using interest-based, functional, and organizational arguments. This institutional form is likely to persist; efforts to build a comprehensive regime are unlikely to succeed, but experiments abound with narrower institutions focused on particular aspects of the climate change problem. Building on this analysis, we argue that a climate change regime complex, if it meets specified criteria, has advantages over any politically feasible comprehensive regime. Adaptability and flexibility are particularly important in a setting—such as climate change policy—in which the most demanding international commitments are interdependent yet governments vary widely in their interest and ability to implement them. Yet in view of the serious political constraints, both domestic and international, there is little reason for optimism that the climate regime complex that is emerging will lead to reductions in emissions rapid enough to meet widely discussed goals, such as stopping global warming at two degrees above pre-industrial levels.

“…Therefore, limiting the emission of GHG is equal to hindering one country's economic and social development. From the perspective of economic and social development, carbon emission right is synonymous to a country's development (Grubb et al 2011), hence receiving worldwide political attention (Golden 1999).…”

Clean development mechanism (CDM) is encountering many uncertainties due to the coming end of the commitment period and critically suggested reformation. As the largest participant in the CDM market, China shoulders the biggest proportion of market risk. Among the studies on CDM in China, few have focused upon the legal aspect of CDM, which is crucial in defending developers' interests. To fill this research gap in making the transition from policy to law, this paper claims that carbon emission right, which is the basis of trade, should be attributed as a property right in Property Law of People's Republic of China. The present study will discuss the characteristics of carbon emission, definition, and legal attribution of carbon emission right. The valid object of carbon emission right in the CDM market under Property Law should be certified emissions reductions (CERs). The usufructuary right could be specifically applied in practice to the owners' property right on CERs in China. Although experience from the CDM is not fully applicable to the development of cap and trading, the success of CDM market provides a reasonable platform to study emission right in the view of legal science. Furthermore, the proposed research acts as the pioneer study that lay the theoretical foundations in legal science on emission right trading for other potential schemes, which in turn addresses international environmental issues.

“…Para Grubb et al (2011) o MDL tem enfrentado críticas em relação a sua adicionalidade, cobertura e eficácia, apesar de ter apresentado grandes reduções reais de emissões em um espaço de tempo relativamente curto, porém, há a necessidade de melhorias no programa para expandir o grau real de reduções globais. Pra isso, os autores destacam que é necessário um engajamento maior de países, incluindo os menos desenvolvidos e que as emissões são dominadas pelo uso da terra, um direcionamento para o setor de construção e transportes e investimentos governamentais adequados.…”

RESUMO REDUCTION OF GREENHOUSE GASES BY CARBON CREDIT PROJECTS IN THE BRAZILIAN ENERGY SECTOR ABSTRACTEnergy generation projects that prioritize the use of renewable energy sources can contribute to the mitigation of greenhouse gases, diversification of the matrix and improving energy security. This article aims to present emission levels, energy consumpti on, and the development of projects aimed at generating carbon credits in the Brazilian energy sector and their contribution to the GHG reduction targets established by Law No. 12.187 / 2009. A literature review in several specialized sites database was carried out in order to identify the Brazilian projects. It was found that the number of Clean Development Mechanism and Verified Carbon Standard projects in the energy sector corresponds to 207 and 54 respectively. The avoided emissions of greenhouse gases by the projects registered by the end of 2014 represent 4% of the total emissions that would be generated by the year 2020 by the Brazilian energy sector.
