The unilateral efforts of a single country or region to
reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases could reduce exports, increase
imports
and lead to higher emissions elsewhere—what economists call "leakage."
Unilateral efforts could, however, work better if other sources of
energy were
used as substitutes, thereby creating "negative leakage," according to
research
by University of Illinois energy policy experts.
