Effort Sharing Regulation

The Effort Sharing Regulation is a policy framework, part of the European Union climate and energy package.

It sets binding national greenhouse gas targets for each of the 28 Member States of the European Union, collectively amounting to a 30% cut in emissions by 2030 (from a 2005 baseline).[1]

Its predecessor, the Effort Sharing Decision, covered the years up to 2020. which collectively amount to a 10% cut in emissions between 2005-2020. These cuts come from areas including transport, buildings and heat, and agriculture.[2]

It is the companion policy to the European Union Emissions Trading System, which covers emission cuts in power and industry.[3]
