Question

What is it called when a country implements emission reduction projects in other industrialized countries?

Answer 1

The practice of a country implementing emission reduction projects in other industrialized countries is called "carbon offsetting." This is a way for countries to reduce their carbon footprint and meet their climate goals by investing in projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in other countries. Carbon offsetting can take many forms, such as investing in renewable energy projects, reforestation efforts, or energy efficiency programs.

Answer 2

Answer:The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)

Explanation:The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), defined in Article 12 of the Protocol, allows a country with an emission-reduction or emission-limitation commitment under the Kyoto Protocol (Annex B Party) to implement an emission-reduction project in developing countries. Such projects can earn saleable certified emission reduction (CER) credits, each equivalent to one tonne of CO2, which can be counted towards meeting Kyoto targets.
