eu emissions trading scheme
The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is a policy initiative of the European Union designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industries by creating a market for emission allowances. It puts a cap on overall emissions and allows companies to buy and sell allowances, encouraging them to invest in cleaner technologies and reduce their carbon footprint.
