Besides the [[ETS]], the Effort Sharing Decision is one of the EU's main tools to address [[Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions|greenhouse gas emissions]]. The Decision establishes a binding EU target to reduce [[Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions|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. <ref>https://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/effort_en<ref>

As a follow-up to the Effort Sharing Decision, the [[European Commission]] has proposed the [[Effort Sharing Regulation]].
