IETA | International Emissions Trading Association

IETA’s US Market Oversight Working Group (MOG) exists to pool, compare and leverage the experience of companies and organizations from throughout the carbon value chain that have been influential in the development of emissions trading and carbon market regulatory policy. Recently, MOG has:

• Engaged in the formation of climate-specific legislation and systematic financial regulation reform in the Waxman-Markey ‘ACES’ Bill  in the US Congress, and with the mechanisms of the Western Climate Initiative.

• Advocated sound carbon market design principles to help ensure liquid and transparent markets that promote fair dealing while helping contain costs and deliver short and long-term price signals.

• Similar work is done in Brussels by formations of the EU Working Group for the development and operation of oversight regimes for the European carbon markets; and market oversight is addressed wherever legal regimes for trading schemes are being developed.
