Pollution Costs to Rise as EU Governments Back Market Fix

Pollution Costs to Rise as EU Governments Back Market Fix | Sustainability Science | Scoop.it
Carbon prices are poised to rebound from a three-year slump as European Union member states backed a stopgap plan to reduce a record glut of pollution permits.
PIRatE Lab's insight:

The European Union (EU) has opted to beef up its carbon trading system. Carbon prices are poised to rebound from a three-year decline after the 28-country bloc decided to back a stopgap plan to reduce the number of pollution permits that have flooded the market. As a result, the cost of emitting carbon dioxide may increasemore than 50 percent on average to $10.54 a metric ton by the end of 2014.
