This briefing sets out T&E’s key recommendations for strengthening the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) for the maritime sector, in view of the upcoming policy review and the 2040 EU climate target. 

T&E highlights the need to maintain both the EU ETS and the IMO’s Net Zero Framework (NZF), as neither alone is sufficient to fulfil shipping’s share of climate action.
