Being serious about the Paris Agreement: Stop the ETS funding coal, Start a meaningful carbon price

A coalition of NGOs calls for the EU to ensure the post-2020 EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) does not subsidize coal plants and implements a tightening emissions cap to drive decarbonization in line with Paris Agreement goals.

• The signatories argue that the EU ETS must cease subsidizing coal plants to align with the goal of keeping global warming well below 2°C, noting that IEA modelling indicates unabated coal in Europe must reach zero by 2030.
• To achieve a carbon price that drives decarbonization through the 2020s, the document asserts that the ETS emissions cap must continue to tighten and be adjusted downwards according to Paris climate goals.
