Carbon emissions and climate are intricately related. People's activities are growing as a result of advances in science and technology, which raises carbon dioxide emissions. As a result of these greenhouse gases, the atmosphere's ability to dissipate heat will decline, raising global temperatures and making climate change a more serious issue. To achieve sustainable development, people must begin to pay attention to these challenges and strike a balance between the environment and economic progress. This paper introduces the mechanism of emissions trading and the benefits of its operation. In order to discuss the possibility of enabling countries to use emissions trading, this paper uses a non-cooperative game theory model to analyze the choices made by developing and developed countries under the background of the Kyoto Protocol. Combined with the equilibrium obtained by the hypothesized model, some methods and reasons for improving the results are proposed. This paper concludes that both developed and developing countries are more inclined to use emissions trading to achieve emission reduction targets or obtain certain benefits.
