Emissions trading

Switzerland and the EU have linked their trading systems for C02-equivalent emission allowances. This helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the most cost-effective way. The EU’s emissions trading system (EU ETS) is the largest market for emission allowances worldwide, which makes it key to the fight against climate change.
