The Fit-for-55 package for the EU Climate Goal 2030 is now law, and the debate on the Climate Goal 2040 has already begun. A highly controversial issue is the amount of CO2 removal that should be credited in the Emissions Trading System (ETS). Could these plans endanger the entire system?

Das Fit-for-55-Paket für das EU-Klimaziel 2030 wird jetzt Gesetz. Und gleich beginnt die Debatte über das Klimaziel 2040. Ein ganz heißes Eisen dabei: Wieviel CO₂-Entnahme soll im Emissionshandel angerechnet werden? Und gefährden die Pläne das ganze System?

Nothing will be achieved in global climate action without China. The country is essential for reducing global emissions, procuring materials crucial for the energy transition and lowering the costs of clean technology. However, in some areas, the West is now more dependent on China than vice versa. And it lags behind in the race for geopolitical influence.
