5-Point Plan: Implementing the EU Emissions Trading System for Buildings and Transport Effectively and Fairly in Germany
From 2027, the new EU Emissions Trading System (ETS-2) is expected to put a price on CO₂ emissions from the buildings and transport sectors across Europe for the first time. Fuel suppliers will be required to purchase CO₂ certificates to cover emissions in these sectors. In this paper, Germanwatch presents a 5-point plan for an effective and socially just implementation of EU emissions trading in Germany, developed in cooperation with Climate Alliance Germany, Diakonie Deutschland and 12 other partner organisations.
