Climex has now been in operation for several months. So now it's time to take stock – and that's just what we do in this special issue, which is devoted completely to CO2 emissions trading and Climex. It's a 'Special' because we have given all our staff the chance to give their own views on the subject. Each writer has his own specialty and a corresponding perspective on Climex, but they all share a passion for the organisation and for emission rights trading.
