ETS2 implementation: delivering predictability, investment, and fairness

55 industry associations and civil society organisations urge the European institutions to maintain regulatory stability and ensure effective implementation of the ETS2 and the Social Climate Fund.

Citizens are more aware than ever of the need to improve energy security and move off fossil fuels. A timely and properly implemented ETS2 will support these objectives. That is why, the signatories call for: 

  • Launching the ETS2 in 2028 without delay or reopening, and use the time to prepare implementation.
  • Prioritise timely and targeted use of ETS2 revenues to bring about benefits.
  • Strengthen and operationalise the Social Climate Fund.
  • Combine carbon pricing with strong complementary policies.
  • Ensure price predictability while maintaining credit signals.
  • Provide resources to raise awareness and ensure transparency.
