Emissions trading without climate impact

Beijing's climate ambitions are great. Emissions trading is to be one of the building blocks for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The start of trading in CO2 certificates was planned for the end of June, but was postponed several times. However, there is hardly anything left of Beijing's ambitious plans after numerous downgrades. Experts even doubt whether trading in this form can make any significant contribution at all to reducing the immense emissions.

Back in the 1970s, however, there was a competition to see which politician and campaigner would be received by Mao – and how long the talks would last. Back then, going to China was considered a sign of foreign policy relevance. A time that now seems like a distant memory – especially since it has been the source of many curious anecdotes, the likes of which would be unthinkable today.
