Learn the EU ETS from the people who run the market: ICE operates the exchange where the majority of the world's carbon allowances actually trade, and its education arm teaches the emissions market as a trading practitioners' subject — allowance auctions, futures and options on EUAs and UKAs, hedging and compliance strategy. An attendance certificate, not a credential — but there is no more direct route into how carbon prices are really made.
