2 BMUB: Our Vision Short to medium term: Emergence of emissions trading systems (ETS) in many jurisdictions In developed countries as well as in emerging economies Linking agreements between closely related systems possibly in some cases via preliminary restricted approaches (e.g. unilateral or based on quotas) Medium to long term: Increased direct linking between various ETS complemented by the exchange of ITMOs in the context of other market instruments finally leading to a global carbon market Linking agreements can be concluded on a bilateral or multilateral basis based on the provisions for cooperative approaches in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement 2

3 International Capacity Building ETS to Support Bilateral Cooperation Supporting emerging emissions trading systems On a bilateral basis: Specific cooperation projects with some countries in the framework of the International Climate Inititative General Capacity Building Activities on ETS Activities either as kick-off events for further bilateral cooperation or elements within specific cooperation projects On a multilateral basis: Active Participation in the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP) and supporting the ICAP secretariat in Berlin Active Participation in the Partnership for Market Readiness of the World Bank as Donor Country 3
