(The introduction of economic instruments, such as emissions trading and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol, was a game changer in the 1990s. This was the first time the private sector was called upon to contribute so directly to the implementation of an international environmental agreement. It was, and remains, controversial because it brings the language of market mechanisms and privatisation into the centre of a regime concerned with global public resources (air, the atmosphere). Controversies notwithstanding, carbon trading that started as a footnote in the mid-1990s has become an integral and central part of the climate change regime.)4.Taxing digital economy for environmental issues.
