Revision of the EU ETS Directive concerning aviation. On 14 July 2021, the European Commission adopted a series of legislative proposals setting out how it intends to achieve climate neutrality in the EU by 2050, including the intermediate target of an at least 55% net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 .
READ MORE2 · Following the repeal of the carbon price in the last parliament, the Emissions Reduction Fund (ERF) is now Australia''s main mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, two-thirds of the ERF''s allocated $2.5 billion funding has now been spent. The ERF, and other policies, will need further funding to achieve our climate targets.
READ MORELiechtenstein has committed to reducing its carbon emissions to 40 % compared to 1990 levels (SDG 13). It recognises that an active climate policy can create the right incentives for the development and use of climate-friendly, sustainable and innovative technologies (Government of the Principality of Liechtenstein, 2019).

Climate zone classifications are derived from the Köppen-Geiger climate classification system, which divides climates into five main climate groups divided based on
READ MOREChina''s per capita CO 2 emissions have tripled between 2000 and 2021, and have surpassed the figures of the UK and the EU from 2013 onwards [ 52 ]. By the end of 2020, emission intensity decreased by 19.3% compared to that in 2015, beating the official target of an 18.0% reduction set for the 13th Five-Year Plan.
READ MORETo reduce emissions and achieve increasing prosperity at the same time, we have to decouple economic growth from CO 2 emissions. Several countries have achieved this in recent years. The chart here shows whether this country has achieved this by showing the change in GDP per capita, and annual per capita CO 2 emissions over time.
READ MOREWe can reduce emissions by (1) using less energy; and/or (2) using lower-carbon energy. This metric monitors the second option. As we transition our energy mix towards lower-carbon sources (such as renewables or nuclear energy), the amount of carbon we emit per unit of energy should fall.
READ MOREThe EU Emissions Trading System in a nutshell: makes polluters pay for their greenhouse gas emissions, helps bring emissions down and generates revenues to finance the EU''s green transition, operates in all EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (EEA-EFTA states), covers emissions from around 10,000 installations in the energy
READ MORESmart transportation can inhibit the CO 2 emissions significantly in not only the transportation but also non-transportation sectors. Furthermore, in addition to the direct mitigation effect, smart transportation can also indirectly affect CO 2 emissions through transportation scale, structure, and technology effects.

READ MOREThe system covers around 9,000 power plants and factories in the 27 EU member states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway, encompassing around 36 percent of the EU''s total greenhouse gas emissions (2022). The objective of the EU ETS is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power stations and other energy intensive industries by a certain
READ MORELiechtenstein selected and described five important environmental topics as key findings: particulate matter air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), forest habitats, waste and traffic noise.
READ MOREBy the introduction of this measure, the proposed tariff for cars is €0.030/km, while the rate is expected to reach €0.067/km at full implementation (year 2018). The unitary tariffs for other vehicles are planned to be €0.017/km for commercial vans, €0.028/km for buses, and €0.024/km for trucks.
READ MORECars and vans produce 15% of the EU''s CO2 emissions. Parliament backed the Commission proposal of zero CO2 emissions for cars and vans by 2035 with intermediate emissions reduction targets for 2030 of 55% for cars and 50% for vans. Learn more about the new CO2 targets for cars. To reach these targets, all new cars that come
READ MOREEmissions in Liechtenstein in 2008 were 14.8 % higher than the base-year level, significantly above the Kyoto target of -8 % for the period 2008–2012. Operators of installations covered by the EU ETS had to surrender less allowances than were issued to the EU ETS, decreasing the countries assigned amount
READ MOREThe EU ETS has been divided into a number of trading phases, with successively more stringent emissions caps for each phase. For the first phase, the emissions cap was fixed at 2298 Mt CO2e per year. Fig. 1 plots the emission caps along with the verified emissions over time of all regulated installations based on the
READ MORERegarding the goal of "carbon peaking and carbon neutrality," an urgent practical problem is how green finance decreases carbon emissions. This paper uses the dynamic spatial Durbin model and China''s provincial panel data to empirically test the impact of green credit on carbon emissions. The results show that green credit effectively curbs
