Can you separate ETS2 myth from fact?
LIFE Effect is calling on the European Commission, the European Parliament and EU member states to ensure an ambitious and timely implementation of the Emissions Trading System for road transport and buildings (ETS2).
If properly designed, national targets and the EU ETS can complement each other and be an effective contribution to achieving the 90% target by 2040.
In this policy brief, we explain how the current Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) proposal affects the integrity of the Social Climate Fund (SCF) and the role of National Social Climate Plans (NSCPs).
We believe it is essential to uphold social justice through strong and targeted policy measures accompanying carbon pricing.
This study investigates how revenue from the EU’s Emissions Trading System has been invested in Germany, Poland, Spain, Italy, and France. The research offers robust insights into spending patterns, climate impact, and policy effectiveness. The study identifies good practices and provides policy recommendations to guide future investments under the Emissions Trading System for road transport and buildings.
The real benefit for citizens and businesses does not lie in rejecting the introduction of ETS2, but in structurally correcting the current imbalances in taxation and parafiscal charges on energy carriers, to which ETS2 contributes.
