La scarsa attenzione alle problematiche ambientali e di sviluppo economico sostenibile ha trovato eco nelle disposizioni legislative avviate, all’inizio del 2005, nell’ambito dei paesi aderenti al Protocollo di Kyoto. Nel presente lavoro, prendendo spunto dal discorso sullo sviluppo sostenibile, si cercherà di evidenziare come tale problematica risponda ad esigenze anche economiche come, d’altra parte, già in passato sottolineavano le valutazioni in merito espresse da economisti della scuola neoclassica, riprese e sviluppate, in seguito, da Pigou e Coase. In particolare, si sottolinea come la necessità di un controllo delle esternalità negative costituisca una modalità estremamente efficace per favorire lo sviluppo di sistemi economici sostenibili. Su tali considerazioni si fonda, infatti, l’approccio delle Emission Trading e del mercato delle quote di emissione. A tal uopo, si descriveranno i meccanismi di regolamentazione delle emissioni e l’origine del sistema Emissions Trading proponendo, infine, alcuni esempi significativi cui quest’ultimo si ispira, utili a porre in rilievo come le scelte tecnologiche debbano svilupparsi nel rispetto del mercato e della compatibilità ambientale, nell’ambito di una sostenibilità economica che sia in grado di fungere da trade off tra aspetti etico-sociali e di convenienza economica.

Abstract
The lack of attention to environmental issues and sustainable economic development has been reflected in the laws initiated in early 2005, as part of the Parties to the Protocol of Kyoto.Nel this work, inspired by the discourse on sustainable development, efforts will be to show that this problem also needs to respond to economic challenges, on the other hand, in the past stressed the assessments of economists expressed by the neoclassical school, taken up and developed subsequently by Pigou and Coase. In particular, it points out the need for a control of negative externalities constitute an extremely effective ways to encourage the development of sustainable economic systems. Is based on these considerations, in fact, the approach of the Emission Trading and the market for emission allowances. To this end, we describe the mechanisms of regulation of emissions and the origin of the Emissions Trading finally proposing some significant examples of the latter is inspired, useful to emphasize how technology choices should be developed in accordance with the market and environmental compatibility, as part of an economic sustainability that is able to act as a trade-off between ethical and social issues and cost effectiveness.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
