Climate Change Policy, Markets and Greenhouse Gas Offset Trading

摘要

Climate Change refers to a change in long-term climate patterns. Farmers are accustomed to adapting to changes in climate, but experts predict that weather patterns will be more variable, accompanied by extreme weather events that will challenge current ways of farming. Regardless of whether one believes in the science of climate change, governments are designing policies and programs that enable markets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions trading -the result of which could impact the way farms are managed in Alberta.
