CARBON TRADING#2 - EMISSIONS TRADING IN EUROPE

After last week's interview with Soumitra Ghosh on the negative impacts of
CDM projects in India, we conclude our look at carbon trading by speaking to
the director of Climate Action Newtwork Europe, Matthias Duwe.

- What are Europe's environmental NGOs doing to help reform the CDM?
- What is their view on the effectiveness of EU Emissions Trading Scheme as
a way of cutting our greenhouse gas output?
