EU Emissions Trading System
The 2026 reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) offers an important moment to align carbon pricing with Europe's 2040 climate ambition, especially by supporting the modal shift toward low-carbon transport.
Electrified rail, as the cleanest mass transport mode, should be prioritised through strategic use of ETS revenues to fund infrastructure, innovation, and affordability measures. At the same time, the reform must address transport fairness by directing revenues to mitigate transport poverty and ensure accessible, sustainable mobility for all. A balanced ETS reform can thus drive deep decarbonization, innovation, and social inclusion across Europe's transport sector.
