Emission Reduction Units

Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) are a type of tradable credit used in international climate agreements. They represent a measurable reduction in greenhouse gases achieved in one country that can be sold to another country to meet their emissions targets. Essentially, if a country commits to cutting pollution, it can earn ERUs by implementing projects that reduce emissions, such as renewable energy or reforestation. These units can then be sold to others seeking to offset their own emissions, promoting international collaboration and cost-effective ways to combat climate change.
