丹麦、芬兰、瑞典三国总理联名致信欧盟:削弱碳市场将损害投资可预见性

哥本哈根——丹麦、芬兰与瑞典三国总理联名致信欧盟机构,主张维护欧盟排放交易体系(ETS)这一欧盟碳市场的现有规则。三位总理在10月14日的联名信中说,任何削弱排放交易体系的做法,都会损害投资决策的可预见性,并把减排负担转移到经济的其他部门。
这封信发出之际,欧盟领导人正于10月15日至16日在布鲁塞尔峰会上讨论碳市场议题。欧盟排放交易体系是欧盟气候政策的核心工具,通过总量管控与配额交易为工业、电力等行业的碳排放定价;围绕其规则是否调整,成员国之间存在分歧。
丹麦首相 Mette Frederiksen为联名信签署人之一。北欧国家一向主张维持严格的气候规则,三国此次在峰会前统一立场,被视为对任何放松碳市场规则提议的明确表态。(GSM 据MLex刊载的官方声明报道)
Nordic Prime Ministers Urge EU to Preserve Carbon Market Rules
COPENHAGEN — The prime ministers of Denmark, Finland and Sweden have written jointly to the European institutions urging that the rules of the EU Emissions Trading System, the bloc's carbon market, be preserved. In their joint letter dated October 14, the three leaders said any weakening of the ETS would undermine the predictability of investment decisions and shift the burden of emissions reductions to other sectors of the economy.
The letter came as EU leaders discussed the carbon market at a summit in Brussels on October 15-16. The ETS is the EU's central climate policy tool, pricing carbon emissions from industry and power generation through a cap-and-trade system, and member states are divided over whether its rules should be adjusted.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen is one of the signatories. The Nordic countries have long advocated strict climate rules, and the joint pre-summit stance is a clear signal against proposals to loosen the carbon market. (GSM, based on the official statement reported by MLex)
