"Emissions trading" refers to a system where companies or countries can buy and sell the right to emit pollutants or greenhouse gases. It is a way to control pollution and combat climate change by putting a price on the amount of pollutants released into the environment. Companies that reduce their emissions can sell their extra permits, while those who exceed their limit must buy permits from others. This encourages businesses to reduce pollution and promotes a more sustainable and cleaner environment.
