Kommentit EU:n pääs­tö­kaup­paan

Suomen luonnonsuojeluliitto (The Finnish Association for Nature Conservation) is the oldest and biggest environmental non-governmental organization in Finland. We would like to make the following points concerning the updating of the EU emissions trading system (ETS)

Emissions in the EU must be cut at least 65 % by the year 2030 in order to keep the global temperature rise to 1.5 °C. Targets of the EU ETS should be increased as well in order to reach the climate targets.

In order to make the EU ETS more efficient in reducing emissions there should be no free allowances, the cap should be re-evaluated to reflect real emission levels and carbon floor price should be set.

We would like to see emissions from international transport (aviation and maritime) included in the EU ETS. All use of biomass should have a sustainability criteria and correct carbon accounting.
