The Netherlands can improve the emissions trading system by:
- Accelerate the closure of coal-fired power stations and destroy the associated emission allowances. Sign our petition to achieve this.
- Earmark income from the ETS. More ETS income would therefore mean more climate budget. There is currently no link between ETS income and Dutch climate expenditure.
- Within Europe, advocate a faster reduction of free rights. Wobke Hoekstra and Rob Jetten say they are committed internationally to quickly phasing out fossil subsidies. Free ETS rights are a fossil subsidy, so let them put words into action!
