Montreal, 12/09/1997 – The CEC Secretariat today made available to the public copies of a
study which responds to a growing interest in North America in exploring trading as an
economic instrument to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases (GHC).
Analysis of the Potential for a Greenhouse Gas Trading System for North
America is an assessment of the issues which would influence the potential economic
and environmental benefits from developing national emissions trading systems in two or
more countries with international trade.
The study, which is available in English-only, is the first part of a
CEC initiative in the area of climate change. |
