Introducing pollution licences
- Implementing system of pollution entitlements
Description
Introducing pollution licences involves establishing a regulatory system where authorities grant permits specifying allowable levels of pollutant emissions for industries and other sources. This strategy aims to control and reduce environmental pollution by setting enforceable limits, incentivizing cleaner technologies, and penalizing non-compliance. Pollution licences provide a practical mechanism for monitoring, managing, and progressively lowering emissions, thereby addressing specific environmental and public health problems caused by uncontrolled pollution.
