WWF: Nearly half of ETS revenues do not go to climate protection

Of the 88.5 billion euros collected by EU member states from the European Emissions Trading System (ETS) between 2013 and 2021, around 51 billion euros went to climate protection measures (57.8 percent). According to official figures, nearly 64 billion euros (72 percent) were reinvested in climate action, but a WWF study published Tuesday casts doubt on those figures.
