Explain why and how Europe has been so successful in reducing its CO2 emissions over the last 20 years
What will be an ideal response?
Under this scheme, specific yearly emission caps are set for the European Union's largest GHG emitters; if emitters exceed those limits, they must compensate either by purchasing carbon equivalences from an emitter below its own cap or by buying credits from the EU carbon market; the goal is to punish those who pollute excessively and to reward those that stay under their carbon quota.
