european union emissions trading scheme (eu ets)

The European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) is a market-based mechanism established by the European Union to limit carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industries that contribute to climate change. It places a cap on the amount of CO2 that participating industries can emit and allows them to trade their emissions allowances, incentivizing pollution reduction efforts and promoting a sustainable transition to a low-carbon economy.
