The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) remains a cornerstone of Europe's efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to a sustainable, low-carbon economy. In my latest article, I explore the intricate details of the ETS, from how the system works to its pivotal role in shaping Europe’s climate future.

🌱 Key topics include:
- The fundamentals of carbon pricing
- The role of cap-and-trade in emissions reduction
- How the ETS impacts industries and businesses
- The latest updates on policy reforms and what they mean for the future of emissions trading

For companies navigating the evolving landscape of sustainability, understanding the ETS is crucial. Whether you're directly affected by emissions regulations or simply interested in the future of sustainable finance, this guide provides valuable insights.

the European Green Deal will transform the EU into a modern, resource-efficient and competitive economy, ensuring:

• no net emissions of greenhouse gases by 2050
• economic growth decoupled from resource use
• no person and no place left behind

The European Green Deal is also our lifeline out of the COVID-19 pandemic. One third of the €1.8 trillion investments from the NextGenerationEU Recovery Plan, and the EU’s seven-year budget will finance the European Green Deal.

The European Commission has adopted a set of proposals to make the EU's climate, energy, transport and taxation policies fit for reducing net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels. More information on Delivering the European Green Deal.

With the Just Transition Fund, we have supported workers and regions to develop new skills and thrive in the green economy.

Likewise, the Social Climate Fund, partly funded via the EU Emissions Trading System, will provide Member States with dedicated funding to support vulnerable groups thanks to investments in energy efficiency, renovation of buildings, and clean heating, amongst others.
