1. ''Environmental policy - European Union (EU) - regulation.''
Charitable status means the legal privileges enjoyed by an organisation which conforms to the regulations set out in charity law and other relevant laws.  


In the EU context, carbon leakage is the situation where greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions increase in other countries, as a consequence of reductions in GHG emissions and increasing strict regulation within the EU.
For example, the Charities Act in the UK.


This might result from:
*EU businesses transferring their domestic production to other countries with looser regulation.
*Replacing domestic production with imports from other suppliers in those countries.


Organisations with charitable status cannot use their assets for any purposes other than pursuing their charitable objectives.


2.  ''Environmental policy - other jurisdictions - regulation.''


Similar consequences in other countries and blocs.
In return charities normally enjoy:
*Preferential tax treatment and tax reliefs.
*Eligibility to apply for certain sources of grant funding.
