| Abstract: | 在全球氣候變化日趨嚴峻下，該如何有效減緩氣候變遷？每個細節都很重要。漂綠案件的數量日漸增加，碳抵換機制可以是用來漂綠的不當行為之一。本研究的目的是比較歐盟排放交易系統與自願性碳交易市場，對兩種體系進行比較，研究將以華特迪士尼為研究案例進行說明，該公司被指控透過在自願性碳交易市場上使用毫無價值的碳權進行漂綠，無價值的碳權，一方面讓迪士尼公司能夠照常營運，而無需大幅削減排放量，另一方面，本應透過碳抵換機制消除的排放卻沒有被消除，這對環境造成了雙重傷害。這兩個系統之間的比較有助於加強碳交易市場，利用兩個體系現有的法律規定來更好地監管公司，總體目標是阻止對社會、消費者和環境都有害的「漂綠」行為。事實上，隨著政策試圖跟上全球暖化對我們社會造成傷害的速度，似乎也給心懷惡意的公司許多機會，他們只想順應潮流並快速賺取利潤，而不對永續發展做出任何承諾。
In a global struggle against climate change and with the increasing emergency for solutions we are facing, every detail counts. The number of greenwashing cases is growing by the day and voluntary carbon credits are one of the ways greenwashers are using to commit their misdeeds. The aim of this study is to draw a comparison between two carbon credits systems, using the European Union one that is enforced and the voluntary carbon market that is spontaneous. The study will be illustrated with the Walt Disney case study that was accused of greenwashing by using worthless carbon credits on the voluntary market. Worthless carbon credits, on one hand, allow Disney to run the company as usual without drastically cutting their emission and on the other hand, emissions that should have been eliminated by carbon offset projects were not, which results in a double harm for the environment. A comparison between these two systems may help reinforcing the carbon markets, taking advantage of the legal framework existing in both markets to better supervise the companies. The overall aim would be to hinder the possibilities of greenwashing which is both harmful to the society, the consumers and the environment. Indeed, as policies are trying to catch up with the speed of changes global warming is causing to our society, many opportunities appear to badly intentioned companies that only want to surf on the trend and generate quick profits without any commitment towards sustainability. |
