Abstract
As a typical market measure to protect the environment, the trading of emission rights originated from the control of sulfur dioxide under the Clean Air Act of the United States. In this article, the author suggests that the paid use of “pollutant discharge right” in China should be effectively connected with environmental taxes and fees to avoid the phenomenon of imposing double economic burden on the same pollutant discharge behavior of enterprises. Also, the paid use of “emission quotas” needs to take into account the reduction of emission quotas.
