In order to strive for greater space of economic and social developmnet,we should take proactive actions to establish a national carbon trading system to control GHG emissions and stimulate low-carbon technology innovation.This paper started with the principle of emission trading,proved the neccessay of building a national carbon emission market:It is not only a response to the internatinal pressure on GHG reduction requirements,or conform to international trends and seize the opportunity,but also a only way for the development of China's low-carbon economy.Analyzed China's economic situation and carbon emissions trading in the present,we obtained in the process of constructing a national carbon emissions trading market,the focus should be on building the "cap-and-trade" emissions trading mechanisms.Learning from the establishment of the EU emissions trading system,based on the actual situation in our country,this paper picture a framework of the steps of developing national carbon emissions trading system,and then presented a detailed policy recommendations.
