Countries around the world adopted the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 to deal with the climate changes and introduced an emission trading scheme as a flexible tool to effectively reduce greenhouse gases by utilizing the market functions. Countries in North East Asia such as Japan, China, South Korea launched Emissions Trading Scheme(ETS) with an emerging global trend and now they start to talk whether it is possible to link their national carbon markets.
