ETS2 (the EU carbon price for 🚗 & 🏠) is under heavy attack.
But the facts are clear: carbon pricing can lower pollution, fund clean heating & transport, and stop the poor from subsidising the rich.

Countries support modulated fees that penalise the commercial practices driving overproduction in the #fashion sector, making polluters pay for the waste they generate.

But dad jokes aside, the real test starts now.
Given the law’s high flexibility, serious impact will depend on ambitious implementation by Member States.
