| 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.

Economic Theories on Emissions Trading - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 440 Emissions Trading/Economic Theories: emissions trading took effect in 2005. Weidner and Mez 2008, p. 364.(1) As it is irrelevant to the impact on the climate where and how greenhouse gases are saved, emissions should be reduced where the costs of prevention across technologies, sectors and countries are minimal. In principle, market instruments such as CO2 taxes or emissions trading systems can contribute to an efficient achievement of climate policy objectives. Ströbele: "What was initially a national task, (...) has now become a club good for the entire EU with the introduction of the CO2 Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). The CO2 price now reflected the scarcity of CO2 emission rights in all EU installations integrated into the system".
