Besides the Emission Trading System, the Effort Sharing Decision is one of the EU's main tools to address greenhouse gas emissions. The Decision establishes a binding EU target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 10% until 2020, compared to 2005 levels. This applies to sectors that are not included in the Emission Trading System: transport, buildings, agriculture, small industry and waste. Individual national emission targets have been determined according to the relative wealth of the respective Member State. [1]
As a follow-up to the Effort Sharing Decision, the European Commission has proposed the Effort Sharing Regulation.
