The article analyzes: (i) the regulations on greenhouse gas emission trading under three traditional institutions of international environmental law—the 1992 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol and the 2015 Paris Agreement; (ii) the provisions of the new-generation FTAs to which Vietnam is a party: the CPTPP, EVFTA, and VN-EAEU FTA. After reviewing, evaluating and comparing the legal system of Vietnam with those of relevant countries, the article then suggests some lessons for Vietnam.

Key words: CPTPP, EVFTA, UNFCCC, the  Kyoto Protocol, The Paris Agreement, greenhouse gas emission trading, Carbon Credit.
