Preferred term

trading emissions  

Definition

  • Emissions trading is an environmental regulation tool that allows polluters to exchange emission rights to meet a given target, which is exogenously set by the regulator. Emission rights are usually distributed to polluters for free (proportional to their recent emissions), or they can be auctioned. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming & Climate Change; Emissions, Trading]
