Abstract

The overall goal of a carbon credit market is to reduce emissions cost- effectively through the creation of permits and their commercialization. However, for a carbon market to function effectively, its elements must be regulated by a suitable and compatible legal regime. As with any asset or legal instrument, understanding the legal nature of carbon credits is crucial for assessing and controlling their trading and the potential risks for trading parties. This article analyzes the carbon credit market and the EU-ETS regulations governing its operation. It also examines Vietnam's legal system regarding the carbon credit market, identifying existing loopholes. Based on EU-ETS regulations, the article offers recommendations to improve the legal framework for Vietnam's carbon credit market.
