regional emissions trading systems
Regional emissions trading systems are market-based mechanisms that allow participating regions or jurisdictions to cap and trade greenhouse gas emissions within their boundaries. This system sets a limit on total emissions and issues allowances that can be bought, sold, or traded, encouraging emission reductions while providing flexibility for industries to comply with emissions targets.
