The EU ETS is a cornerstone of the EU's climate policy and its key tool to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Europe. It is the world's first compliance carbon market and remains among the largest ones globally. The EU ETS2 is a new emissions trading system created in addition to the existing EU ETS. This new system will address the CO2 emissions from buildings, road transport and additional sectors (mainly small industry not covered by the existing EU ETS).
Organized by our Europe Chapter, hear from our experts as they discuss the EU ETS and its implications for European businesses and households. They will also show the first-of-its kind digital tool that allows to calculate costs for households that result from implementation of the EU ETS 2.
