Cap and Trade

The cap and trade system aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by establishing a "cap" or limit on the total emissions that companies can produce. Companies can buy and sell carbon credits, which grant them the right to emit a specific amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs), creating a market-driven approach to controlling pollution.
