The 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference was held in Durban, South Africa, from 28 November to 9 December 2011(officially referred to as COP 17 and CMP 7).The Durban Conference stuck to the dual-track approach of UNFCCC and Kyoto Protocol as well as the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. The UN’s two-week-long climate-change summit ended with an agreement that the EU will undertake a second round of emissions abatement under the Kyoto protocol and startup the Green Climate Fund.

China makes extended efforts in the 12th five-year plan, including energy consumption per unit of GDP to be cut by 16% and carbon dioxide emission per unit of GDP to be cut by 17%. All these indicate Chinese government’s determination to promote the scientific development. It’s urgent for China to establish its own carbon trade mechanism and locate itself in the world carbon trading market.

The 5th Annual Carbon Trade China 2012 will be held on April 17-18 in Beijing, which will attract near 300 senior practitioners to attend.
