The Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s three strategic priorities include promoting sustainable growth. Policies rely heavily on tradable quota markets, a form of quantity-based instrument (such as the Renewables Obligation (RO)), although there are also primarily price-based instruments (such as the Climate-Change Levy (CCL)).
