Information about the Lecture: 
In the 90s and early noughties we had expectations on how carbon markets
should be designed and what they could deliver. Since then we have hard
experience of designing and implementing carbon markets and we have learned
some lessons - some expected and some surprising - in doing so. Looking at
the experience of the EU Emissions Trading System and the first year of
operation of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative some of our original
expectations may be need to be adjusted. Given the amount of time we have to
drastically reduce our emissions of greenhouse gases and avoid dangerous
climate change, how should we respond to this experience and what are the
key lessons for those embarking on this process around the world?


Information about the Speaker:


Jill Duggan is a UK expert on emissions trading. Jill Duggan has extensive
experience in emissions trading and climate change policy. She managed the
UK's pilot emissions trading scheme from 2003-2005 and was the UK's cross
Government lead for the 2008-2012 phase of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme.
As Head of International Emissions Trading, she has been working with
governments around the world on design and implementation of emissions
trading schemes. She has been an advisor to the Western Climate Initiative
and on the Steering Committee of the International Carbon Action Partnership
(ICAP). The partnership is an initiative by 25 regions, nations, states and
provinces to share best practice on design and implementation of emissions
trading schemes.

Jill has also been involved in the design of a consumer offset standard, in
the use of sectoral approaches and in developing country cooperation on
climate change policy. Jill Duggan has recently been posted to Washington DC
following nearly three years heading the UK Government's policy work on
linking emissions trading systems, and passing on the UK's experience in
designing and implementing cap and trade programmes.
