Selling Clean Air : Workshop Proceedings

These proceedings are the summary of Selling Clean Air: Market Instruments for Climate Protection, a two-day workshop on market instruments for climate change organized by West Coast Environmental Law Research Foundation. The workshop was held October 15 and 16, 1998, in Vancouver. This workshop brought together approximately 100 participants. The first day examined market instruments and the pros and cons of using different market instruments for reducing Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. The second day was aimed at improving the capacity of municipalities, environmental groups, small businesses, and community groups to develop projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a quantifiable way that achieves other social benefits and can generate gas emissions reduction credits.
