carbon leakage and the transition to a low-carbon economy
Carbon leakage refers to a situation where industries or businesses move their production to regions with weaker greenhouse gas regulations, thereby increasing emissions globally instead of reducing them. On the other hand, the transition to a low-carbon economy refers to the shift from a high reliance on fossil fuels to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources in order to mitigate climate change and reduce carbon emissions.
