Abstract
Under the background of climate warming, the importance of global carbon emission management has become more and more significant. This article reviews and organizes the existing literature on carbon emission management, focusing on the research status from the perspectives of economic instruments for carbon reduction and international cooperation. It explores the economic effects of different policy tools and the emission reduction measures of various countries. This article intends to see the progress and shortcomings of global climate governance through the organization of past research results and provide directions for future research.
