Despite some progress and a number of hardwon victories for the climate, MEPs on the European Parliament’s environment committee failed to raise the ambition of the EU’s Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) to a level that would avoid catastrophic temperature rises.
After almost a year in the legislative pipeline since it was proposed as part of the European Commission's ‘Fit for 55’ policy package last summer, the reform of the EU ETS was voted on at the European Parliament’s Environment Committee on Tuesday 17 May.*
