EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)
A ‘cap and trade’ system to reduce emissions via a carbon market.
Fluorinated greenhouse gases
Fluorinated gases (‘F-gases’) are very powerful greenhouse gases found in everyday products such as refrigerators or air conditioning.
Carbon capture, use and storage
Reducing emissions is not enough. We also have to capture carbon that is already in the atmosphere.
Duurzame koolstofcycli
Koolstof is het atoom van het leven, van onze samenleving en onze economie. Het maakt deel uit van ons DNA, het voedsel dat we eten, de producten die we dagelijks gebruiken, de brandstoffen die onze huizen, voertuigen en fabrieken aandrijven, de materialen die we gebruiken om onze steden te bouwen.
Effort sharing: Member States' emission targets
Sharing the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in key sectors.
Forests and agriculture
Forests and farms are fundamental in the fight against the climate crisis.
Funding for climate action
How the EU is investing in a climate-friendly future and making polluters pay.
Transport emissions
Transport represents almost a quarter of Europe's greenhouse gas emissions and is the main cause of air pollution in cities.
