This policy guide to the EU ETS aims to build knowledge and understanding of the Europe’s carbon market for civil society organizations who have little or no prior experience with EU climate policies. It provides introductory knowledge on how the EU ETS is designed and how it functions. Increased awareness should ultimately empower civil society to get involved in the ETS process.
