Climate change is a global problem related to the Our Common Future. It is due to excessive emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. The international society is striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. China has emphasized the historical responsibility and role of developed countries in the issue of climate change. Recently, as the Paris Agreement has been adopted, all countries are obliged to reduce their GHG emissions without discrimination between developed and developing countries. As environmental pollution such as serious air pollution is getting worse and China, as the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter, the pressure of the international community is deepening, China is actively participating in various activities concern with coping with climate change under Paris Agreement. China has set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions through measures such as adjusting industrial and energy structures and enhancing energy efficiency in macro-national policies. More specifically, it has announced policies on the implementation of the carbon emission trading system. It is attempting to build a progressive carbon trading market through regional designation. China recognized the necessity of introduce a nationwide emissions trading system to achieve its national reduction targets by 2020, which were published around the year 2009 in COP15. Therefore, China has set up a related system through pilot operation of emission trading system in a specific region and planned to make it a cornerstone for implementation of emission trading system at the national level in the future. China have officially approved the implementation of carbon emission trading pilot project in 7 provinces. However, unlike China's aggressive attitude, there are also some problems: First, the content of the relevant rules to support the positive action of China is still insufficient. The policy on the GHG reduction target is too sporadic so it is difficult to show practical binding power; second, the normative status of related regulations are so low; third, it is necessary to establish a uniform national certification standard for certification; forth, The operation of the Pilot Emissions Trading Scheme may help to select the best model for the situation in China, but there is a risk of confusion due to the superiority of regional norms.
