The International Emissions Trading Association (IETA)
is a non-profit business organization created in June
1999 to establish a functional international framework
for trading in greenhouse gas emission reductions. Our
membership includes leading international companies
from across the carbon trading cycle. IETA members seek
to develop an emissions trading regime that results
in real and verifiable greenhouse gas emission reductions,
balancing economic efficiency with environmental integrity
and social equity.
As of January 2007, IETA comprises 145 international
companies from OECD and non-OECD countries. IETA has
formed several partnerships such as with the World Bank,
Eurelectric, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation,
the Federation of Chilean Industry, the California Climate
Action Registry.
IETA is dedicated to ensuring that the objectives of
the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and
ultimately climate protection are met through the establishment
of effective systems for trading in greenhouse gas emissions
by businesses, in an economically efficient manner while
maintaining societal equity and environmental integrity.
