Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United Nations "cap and trade" system allows companies to buy and sell carbon credits, which represent a certain amount of allowed emissions. By purchasing these credits, companies can offset their own emissions by supporting projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions elsewhere. However, this does not give them the right to pollute the atmosphere, but rather a way to balance their emissions and contribute to reducing overall emissions.
