São Paulo was the first Brazilian state to adopt subnational climate change legislation in
2009. The policy establishes an economy-wide emissions reduction target and focuses on

The initial data as of December 2012 was compiled by the ICAP Secretariat for ICAP jurisdictions and by Ecofys for non-ICAP jurisdictions.
Since then, the ICAP Secretariat has continuously updated the data for the ICAP and non-ICAP jurisdictions. Information compiled in the
ICAP ETS Map is based on official and public information, as much as possible, and focuses on cap-and-trade systems for greenhouse gas
emissions. The ETS map thus does not aspire to monitor all climate policy instruments. This website presents interim results of a continuous
working process. Although the information contained therein is assembled with utmost care, ICAP and Ecofys cannot be held liable for the
