emissions trading schemes
Emissions trading schemes are market-based approaches aimed at reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. These systems create a tradable commodity, allowing entities to buy and sell emission allowances or credits. By setting a cap on total emissions, these schemes incentivize polluters to minimize their emissions and reward those who exceed their reduction targets, fostering overall environmental sustainability.
