| Emissions trading: Emissions trading, or cap-and-trade, is a market-based approach to control pollution. Governments set an overall limit (cap) on emissions, issuing permits accordingly. Companies can trade these permits, incentivizing lower emissions. This system encourages efficiency as businesses innovate to reduce emissions, providing financial benefits to those emitting less and meeting environmental targets. See also Climate Change, Climate damages, Emissions, Emission targets._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Paul Krugman on Emissions Trading - Dictionary of Arguments
Singer I 226 Emission Trading/Carbon Tax/Altruism/Climate Change/KrugmanVsHansen, J. E. /Krugman/Singer, P.: 1. Emissions trading will reduce altruism in relation to the climate (like J. E. Hansen), but this altruism will not have the necessary effect anyway. 2. the market mechanism means that emission rights fall to the lowest price. Problem: why should someone then reduce these emission rights by paying a high price themselves, while at the same time someone else can reduce them at a lower cost and also benefits from it by selling them to you? (P. Krugman 2010(1)). Singer, P.: for Krugman and most of his colleagues, the carbon tax is therefore less efficient than a >Cap and trade system.
