Climate Race!

Adult version

Our biggest challenge during this new century is to require a thought that seems abstract – Sustainable development – and switch it into a reality for all the world’s people. 

-Kofi Annan

Sky Question

Cap and Trade is a system designed to reduce pollution in our atmosphere.

The cap on greenhouse gas emissions that drive global warming is a firm limit on pollution. The cap gets stricter over time.

The trade part is a market for companies to buy and sell allowances that let them emit only a certain amount, as supply and demand set the price.

Which is a strength of Cap and Trade?

"Cap" is self adjusting - no problem if inaccurate

Not efficient - takes a lot of initial management

Cost effective

Difficulty: medium

Wrong!

The total amount of the cap is split into allowances, each permitting a company to emit one ton of emissions. (You'd have to drive 2,400 miles, roughly the distance between New York and Las Vegas, to emit that much carbon dioxide.)

The government distributes the allowances to the companies, either for free or through an auction.

The cap typically declines over time, providing a growing incentive for industry and businesses to reduce their emissions more efficiently, while keeping production costs down.
