Climate policy aims to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In the European Union, these emissions are reduced by emissions trading scheme, the obligations of effort sharing sectors and the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Other relevant tools are land-use change and sinks in forests, which have their own regulations. Is the EU’s tool kit consistent and optimal in economic terms?https://tem.fi/en/-/miten-optimoida-eu-n-energia-ja-ilmastotoimet-

As an interim target for reaching climate neutrality by 2050, the EU wants to tighten the emission reduction target from 40% to at least 55% by 2030. Although it seems that the EU will exceed the original target, this constitutes a major change. In particular, the way emission reductions are implemented has a major impact on how much the transition will cost and how these costs will be distributed between countries.https://tem.fi/en/-/fit-for-55-what-are-the-best-ways-to-cut-emissions-
