    In this letter, seven green NGOs tell EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen that scrapping the Effort Sharing Regulation – proposed in theCommission’s Inception Impact Assessment – would be a serious mistake. It would reduce incentives for effective national measures, undermine support for proven EU-wide policies, delay action in harder to treat sectors and risk serious impacts on poorer citizens. The letter is signed by Birdlife CAN-E, Carbon Market Watch, European Environmental Bureau, Greenpeace, Transport & Environment, and WWF.
