I understand that carbon abatement is the criterion and that it is not considered possible to come up with a criterion or a regime that deals with other questions. You cited water and food security. I understand that would be a fragmentation or a distraction from the core purpose of this legislation. So, to be explicit, the criterion is carbon abatement.
