The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that commits countries to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Countries that ratify the protocol must reduce their emissions through domestic measures or carbon trading if their emissions are not decreasing. Carbon trading allows countries or companies to buy and sell credits representing one ton of carbon dioxide. While carbon trading provides benefits like reduced emissions and revenue for developing nations, it also allows industries to purchase pollution rights rather than implementing greener technologies and lacks a centralized global framework.

20. CARBON CREDIT
1 CARBON CREDIT ≈ 1 ton of CO2 or its equivalent
greenhouse gas (GHG) which
is an entitled certificate by
UNFCCC (United Nations
Framework Convention on
Climate Change)

21. Benefits of Carbon Trading
1. Reduction in green house gas emission
2. Source of revenue for
developing nations
3. Supports a free market system

22. Disadvantages of CARBON TRADING:
• Right to pollute
 Industries in the ratified nations are purchasing legal rights to
pollute the
atmosphere
• Slow process
 Industries are opting the easy way– purchase more allowances than
implementing greener technologies
• Lack of centralized system or global framework
 Absence of a centralized and accepted global standards/act are
missing
