Record 6 - external organization data 2007-01-15

English

Subject field(s)
  • Translation
  • Environmental Economics
  • Anti-pollution Measures
  • Compartment - Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
OBS

Canada's climate change plan calls for a 55 million tonne(Mt) cap on Large Final Emitters and the creation of a carbon offset trading system to achieve these levels. A target price of $15 has been set as the maximum that industry will have to pay to offset one tonne of carbon.... All Canadian companies will have the opportunity to capitalize on reducing carbon emissions starting in 2008, but the credit process and eventual market potential are still unclear. As the system unfolds, it will be important for Large Final Emitters and other companies or individuals to maximize their potential gain.... If companies are able to achieve improve efficiency and share best practices by looking for ways to reduce emissions and trade credits, then the market should expand. Likewise, if firms see a social benefit from minimizing their climate footprint, they will be encouraged to continue.

OBS

Approved by the Terminology Committee of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Domaine(s)
  • Traduction
  • Économie environnementale
  • Mesures antipollution
  • Tiroir - Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada
OBS

Ce système veut que les grandes entreprises vendent des parts de pollution aux petites entreprises qui ne pourraient pas survivre autrement ce qui forcerait en même temps les grandes entreprises à investir dans des solutions antipollution pour compenser pour les crédits vendues. Une étude faite il y a des années à ce sujet a conclu que ce système diminuerait l'émission totale de carbone.

OBS

La notion de «carbon offset» se rend aussi par «droits d'émission de carbone» et par «compensation des émissions de carbone», selon le contexte. Ne pas oublier de mettre le pluriel à «crédits».

OBS
