• Greening Capitalism? A Marxist Critique of Carbon Markets (2012, background): “One of the most outspoken critics has been Lohmann (2006, 2008a, 2008b, 2009a, 2009b, 2010) who has stressed the ineffectiveness and corrupt development of carbon markets, as well as their negative social, economic and environmental outcomes.”

• Offsetting Benefits? Analyzing Access to Forest Carbon (2010, background): “From an accounting perspective, Lohmann (2008) emphasizes that carbon markets treat emissions allowances and emission reductions as essentially the same thing, which allows the comparison of offsets across cultural and geographical distances and the linking of ``traders' conceptual, largely…”
• National and Sub-national Policies and Institutions (2014, background): “, Lohmann (2008)) much less enthusiastic about the concept of emissions trading for reasons of justice and environmental integrity, among others, and more so after the current collapse of carbon prices in the EU-ETS, (Lohmann, 2008).”
• A Polycentric Approach for Coping with Climate Change (2009, background): “The C40 Large Cities Climate Summit was held in May 2007 to exchange information about many policies adopted to reduce emissions and to announce a $5 billion global Energy Efficiency Building Retrofit Program by the Clinton Climate Initiative.4 A similar league, the World Mayors Council on Climate C”
