farming practices to reverse this. Carbon trading Carbon emissions trading is a form of emissions trading that specifically targets carbon dioxide (calculated in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent or tCO2e) and it currently constitutes the bulk of emissions trading. This form of permit trading is a common method countries utilize in order to meet their obligations specified by the Kyoto Protocol; namely the reduction of carbon emissions in an attempt to reduce (mitigate) future climate change.

facing the world today. Global warming refers to the gradual increase in the temperatures of water and air on the earths’ surface (Global Warming.com a‚ 2009). The main contributor to global warming is carbon dioxide emissions. Airplanes account for 3.5 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions in the earths’ upper atmosphere (Global Warming.com b‚ 2009). They are particularly harmful to the environment as they release large amounts of carbon dioxide at high altitudes (BBC News‚ 2005). It is approximated

systems establish property rights to emissions‚ allocate them to actors that are included in the system‚ create a market in which those actors can trade these property rights and‚ finally‚ institute penalties for non-compliance. The purpose of these regimes is to either reduce energy demand or to change the way energy is produced (switching into non-carbon alternatives). Proponents of emissions trading suggest that such a market-based approach to emissions reduction constitutes the most effective
