"Emissions allowances" refers to a system where companies or countries are given a certain limit or amount of pollution they are allowed to emit. This is done to control and reduce the amount of harmful pollutants released into the environment. If a company or country stays within its emissions allowance, it means they have not exceeded their allowed level of pollution.
