Background:
National greenhouse gas emissions trading in Australia is to begin in 
2010, and policy decisions about design are to be made soon. The 
experience with EU emissions trading, the largest such scheme in the 
world, has demonstrated that good design is crucial to economic and 
environmental success. This lecture and discussion aims to feed into the 
current public and policy debate. It is hosted under the ANU 
Environmental Economics Research Hub (EERH) with financial support by 
the Economic Design Network (EDN).

About the presenter:
Dr Felix Matthes is a leading international expert on the policy 
dimensions of greenhouse gas emissions trading and energy policy, and 
has been closely involved in the development of the EU’s national 
allocation plans, and the review of the EU emissions trading scheme for 
the post-2012 period. He has been a senior scientist at the Öko-Institut 
(Institute for Applied Ecology) since 1990 and was Deputy Director from 
2002-2004, and is currently a visiting lecturer at the Free University 
of Berlin and a visiting scientist at MIT.
