On Tuesday 2 December, the LIFE Effect consortium launched its ETS2 101 guide together with a panel discussion on the consequences of recent changes of carbon pricing for road transport and buildings in the EU.
Weakening ETS2 risks undermining Europe’s climate strategy
Nikos Mantzaris reminds us that artificially reducing carbon prices in the past led to higher emissions and delayed green investments, as seen during the 2005–2018 period of the first ETS. Instead of repeating the same mistakes, he emphasizes that the real solution already exists within the EU framework: the Social Climate Plans, which allow Member States to support vulnerable households and small businesses through targeted measures.
