emission trading
Emission trading refers to a market-based approach where companies or governments buy and sell permits to emit certain gases or pollutants, with a set limit on total emissions. This system aims to reduce overall pollution by incentivizing companies to lower their emissions and facilitating the transfer of unused emission allowances to those who need them.
