This article draws on eight recent studies published in Energy and Climate Management to assess the current status and future trajectory of China’s carbon market. While the national ETS has made notable progress, it remains constrained by low liquidity, weak price signals, and challenges in sectoral expansion—particularly due to MRV limitations. The studies highlight that improving institutional design, especially through robust price stabilization mechanisms, and introducing financial tools such as carbon futures are critical to enhancing market effectiveness. Insights from Japan and South Korea further underscore the importance of broader participation and policy flexibility. Overall, China’s carbon market is transitioning from institutional setup to market deepening, with growing emphasis on market-driven signals.
