Emissions Measures: The Eu Leads The Way

The European programme to combat global warming aims to introduce a series of measures and regulations within the EU to eliminate or reduce certain sources of greenhouse gas emissions. The EU's objective is that of reducing these emissions by 8%, by means of emission quotas, regulations to favour the development of renewable energy sources, as well as taxation on the use of fossil fuels. This article takes a look at some of the measures adopted by the EU, such as ET - Emissions Trading; AIJ - Activities Implemented Jointly; CDM - Clean Development Mechanism, and joint implementation (JI) projects.
