Its ambition is indeed great and unprecedented. However, upon closer examination of the contents of the agreement, the COP21 epitomizes old, and perhaps even growing difficulties that negotiators meet when discussing an urgently needed global, strong, and binding compromise. Proposed by many economists but absent from the Paris Agreement, is the definition of an international price of carbon emission, which appears in practice extremely hard to achieve and insufficient to counter biodiversity loss or achieve broad environmental goals. It is, nevertheless, very much a precondition for international sustainable production and consumption, since price is the foremost economic signal to help orient economic players. It stimulates investments and innovation in cleaner production processes and provides a new source of financing for public policies, be they environmental or developmental. As of this writing, the most important regional greenhouse gas (GHG) pricing system is the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). Spearhead of the European climate policy, this carbon market has since its inception been used as a model by other countries and regions. However, tradable emission markets are ridden with many structural flaws, which result in a final pricing of the carbon tonne that is much too low. Prices thus lose their incentive function and virtuous players-those economic agents who have already started to invest in clean technologies-are found to be at a disadvantage.

It highlights economic, legal, and political difficulties raised by border carbon adjustments. After thoroughly reviewing their economic practicability, it analyses these mechanisms from an International Trade Law perspective, particularly vis-à-vis the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, sustainable development, and the principle of shared but differentiated responsibilities. It concludes with an assessment of policy-related implications of such mechanisms and outlines, in particular, how border carbon adjustments may be used as an engine of economic and energy transition, for developed and developing countries equally.

Elles ne sont pas toutes soumises à un marché de permis et les pouvoirs publics fixent le plafond de pollution. Nous montrons qu’une entreprise dominante sur le marché des permis utilise ce dernier pour s’approprier un avantage sur le marché du bien. Ce résultat élargit ainsi les hypothèses de la manipulation par exclusion. Les pouvoirs publics se comportent également de façon stratégique, en utilisant deux instruments – la dotation initiale et le plafond de pollution – pour maximiser le bien-être collectif. Le plafond de pollution qui en résulte est alors plus élevé qu’à l’équilibre concurrentiel.

Using the Brander and Spencer's framework (J Int Econ 18:83-100, 1985), we seek to determine the optimal strategies of both a dominant firm in the pollution permit market and the regulator in a such context. We first show that the dominant firm pursues a strategic manipulation to increase its profit. We also find that the regulator uses a sophisticated strategic policy to increase the domestic welfare by using two instruments: the initial allocation of pollution permits and the pollution cap.
