“CARB’s approval of linkage is a big milestone for California and the nation, and yet another strong example of California’s leadership in fighting climate change, while moving further down the path to a clean energy economy.
This linkage comes at a moment when momentum for carbon market development has been building around the world, and sends a positive signal to other jurisdictions that are working on building their own carbon markets and might ultimately seek to join with California and Quebec.”
-Erica Morehouse, Staff Attorney, US Climate and Energy
