This forces people to significantly reduce their GHG emissions. The cap is broken into a number of 'emission units'. In a comprehensive cap and trade system, the total emissions in the economy can't be greater than the total number of emission units. The cap determines the environmental impact of the system. Trading creates flexibility in terms of where, how and by whom emissions are reduced. Emission units can be bought and sold. As long as the cap is not exceeded, it doesn't matter where emissions are reduced. Flexibility is essential if we are to reduce our emissions at the lowest economic and social cost. |

الحد الانبعاثي و نظام المتاجرة Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissions_trading -A central authority (usually a government or international body) sets a ***"limit or cap"*** on the amount of a pollutant that can be emitted. -Companies that need to increase their emissions must buy credits from those who pollute less. The transfer of allowances is referred to as a ***"trade"***. |
