China to Announce Cap-and-Trade Program to Limit Emissions By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS and CORAL DAVENPORT SEPT. 24, 2015 nytimes.com excerpt: But the agreement, which American officials said had been in the works since April, is China’s first commitment to a specific plan to carry out what have so far been general ambitions. Domestic and external pressures have driven the Chinese government to take firmer action to curb emissions from fossil fuels, especially coal. Growing public anger about the noxious air that often envelops Beijing and many other Chinese cities has prompted the government to introduce restrictions on coal and other sources of smog, with the side benefit of reducing carbon dioxide pollution. The authorities also see economic benefits in reducing fossil fuel use. [....] China has been developing and implementing smaller cap-and-trade programs for at least three years. In 2012, it started pilot programs in seven provinces, intended to serve as tests for a national program. Last week, Chinese officials met in Los Angeles with top environmental officials from California, which has enacted an aggressive state-level cap-and-trade program. People who attended the talks said they were meant to pave the way for a possible linkage of the Chinese and California cap-and-trade systems. [....] The president plans to raise a number of contentious topics on Friday, White House aides said, including cyberattacks on American companies and government agencies; China’s increasingly aggressive reclamation of islands and atolls in disputed areas of the South China Sea; and Mr. Xi’s clampdown on dissidents and lawyers in China.
