Making Emissions Trading work for citizens and the climate
The EU ETS plans to hand out free pollution permits worth about
€300 BILLION
between 2021 and 2030
What's life ETX?
Emissions Trading Extra (ETX) seeks to make the EU’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), one of the EU’s main tools for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, work for citizens and the climate.
Carried out by a consortium of ten environmental NGOs, the project aims to increase civil society’s awareness about the EU ETS and carbon pricing, provide scientific knowledge and develop carbon pricing policies.

Make the polluter truly pay by phasing out free emission allowances
02
Reduce emissions fast enough to limit global warming to safer levels, under 1.5°C
03
Establish a robust, predictable and rising carbon price
