Abstract

On 17 December 2002, Canada ratified the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Kyoto Protocol), taking on binding targets to reduce Canadian emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Canada's ratification decision and the proposed domestic emissions trading system forming part of Canada's Kyoto implementation plan continue to be the source of considerable disagreement and conflict between the provinces and thefederal government regarding: the practical challenges associated with multiple Canadian jurisdictions implementing emissions trading systems: the current status and legal issues associated with covenants between industry and government(s) to enforce GHG reduction targets; the legal jurisdiction over domestic emissions trading system(s); and the impact on interprovincial and international trade. Each ofthese issues is examined in the unique Canadian legal context. The authors conclude that many ofthe most significant challenges may be mitigated through harmonization and coordination byfederal and provincial governments in a manner that allows for local concerns to be addressed without fragmenting the Canadian emissions markets.
加拿大在执行《京都议定书》方面面临的挑战:协调的原因
2002年12月17日,加拿大批准了《联合国气候变化框架公约京都议定书》,制定了减少加拿大温室气体排放的具有约束力的目标。加拿大的批准决定和构成加拿大《京都议定书》实施计划一部分的拟议国内排放交易制度,仍然是各省和联邦政府之间在以下方面存在相当大分歧和冲突的根源:与实施排放交易制度的多个加拿大司法管辖区相关的实际挑战:现状和与行业和政府之间执行温室气体减排目标的契约相关的法律问题;国内排放交易系统的法律管辖权;以及对跨省和国际贸易的影响。这些问题都是在加拿大独特的法律背景下进行审查的。作者得出的结论是,许多最重大的挑战可以通过联邦和省政府的协调和协调来缓解,这种协调和协调的方式可以在不分裂加拿大排放市场的情况下解决地方问题。
