    Carbon trading is NOT applied in which nation?

    • United States of America

    • European Union

    • Africa

    Correct Answer
    A. Africa
    Explanation
    Carbon trading is a mechanism used to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by setting a limit on the amount of carbon dioxide that can be emitted. It allows countries or organizations to trade carbon credits, which represent a certain amount of emissions. By trading these credits, countries can meet their emission reduction targets more efficiently. However, Africa is not currently implementing carbon trading as a method to reduce emissions. This may be due to various reasons such as limited resources, lack of infrastructure, or different priorities in addressing climate change.

This system allows for flexibility in meeting emission reduction targets and promotes international cooperation in addressing climate change.
