    Towards an ETS that works for climate and the transformation of industry

    This ETS revision must trigger this shift and help transform Europe’s industry and support the shift to renewables. The revision is not only about a higher carbon price, but also about creating the best possible instrument that works for climate and the green transformation of the power sector and the EU industry.

The key questions are: is an increase to a 60% GHG reduction target possible? What could be key policy elements? What would be the economic and employment effects of meeting this target?
