On 27 April, three experts gathered for the latest ETS Talk to discuss ETS2, the EU’s new carbon pricing system for transport and heating, where we currently stand, and the impacts of the ongoing fossil fuel crisis.
ETS and national targets: Building a fair post-2030 climate architecture
If properly designed, the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and national targets can effectively complement each other and jointly contribute to achieving the EU’s proposed 2040 climate target of a 90% net emissions reduction compared to 1990 levels.
