The EU has positioned itself as a global leader on climate action and decarbonisation. Its European Green Deal sets a goal for carbon neutrality by 2050, while regulations such as the European Climate Law, the Industrial Emissions Directive and the Circular Economy Action Plan aim to reduce industrial emissions and minimise environmental impact across various sectors. Meanwhile its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) aims to incentivise industries to reduce emissions and invest in low-carbon technologies.
