European Commission Proposes Non-ETS Emissions Cuts for EU Countries

摘要

European Union countries would be required to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the sectors of their economies not covered by emissions trading by up to 40 percent by 2030 compared to 2005, under a draft regulation the European Commission published July 20. In addition, under a separate regulation the commission put forward, EU countries also would be obliged to keep their net emissions from land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) activities at or below zero.
