Kyoto Protocol has been signed by 192 parties and it comes to be mandatory for 37 developed nations (UN‚ 2014). Under Kyoto Protocol‚ Emission Trading Scheme has been set up for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gases. It allows emission rights to be traded between countries to help governments meeting the gas emissions reduction target (Evans‚ 2012). However‚ how to report the value

We’re already seeing
