The Risks Associated with Climate Change

Carbon trading is one of the most talked about business and environmental issues today, especially as Canada considers a national climate change regulation.

However, there are risks to carbon trading that businesses should be wary of when considering this option.

This issue of The Forecast explains how carbon trading works and assesses the various risks, including project, economic and operational risks.
