Features: This book discusses the importance and feasibility of emissions trading policy in controlling China's acid rain pollution. It provides detailed analysis and discussion on the theory of emissions trading, the experience of the United States, and the development of China's sulfur dioxide pollution control policy. Through case studies of cities, it elaborates on the limitations of "total control" regulation, such as insufficient technical support for its implementation and lack of motivation to enforce it. The book argues that emissions trading should be the preferred policy for controlling acid rain in China. Additionally, it discusses the strategic steps for establishing China's national sulfur dioxide emissions trading market. This book integrates the theory of emissions trading, U.S. and Chinese practices, and adopts a case study approach, making it highly theoretical, operational, and applicable. It is suitable for students and researchers engaged in environmental policy studies, environmental management practices, and environmental-related fields.
