Twenty Multinationals Rally Behind EU Carbon Market as Brussels Faces Pressure to Weaken It
Una veintena de multinacionales defiende el sistema europeo que penaliza las emisiones de CO₂ frente a los ataques en Bruselas
Summary
Around twenty major multinationals, including Google, Ikea, Iberdrola and Acciona, have come out in defence of the European Union's carbon emissions trading system (ETS) as political pressure mounts in Brussels to weaken the climate policy tool. The companies argue the ETS is essential for driving the clean energy transition and providing long-term investment certainty. Their intervention comes amid growing lobbying efforts by industry groups seeking to roll back or dilute the carbon market mechanism.
