ETS human stories
The LIFE ETX consortium collaborated to tell the stories of people involved in the green transition. CMW travelled to Portugal, Greece and Belgium to discover more about how the revenues from the EU ETS can be put to good use, improving peoples’ lives and empowering the green transition. These documentaries are the result of these trips.

Emissions Trading Extra
Emissions Trading Extra (ETX) seeks to enhance climate governance around the EU’s Emissions Trading System (ETS), the EU’s main tool for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the industrial and energy sectors, and for ensuring that the polluter pays.
