The Case for Carbon Credits

As climate challenges intensify, environmental sustainability and economic competitiveness need to be pursued as mutually reinforcing goals. While regulatory frameworks set clear climate targets, overregulation can slow innovation and increase compliance costs. Instead, the EU can leverage market-based mechanisms that drive sustainability while maintaining industrial competitiveness.
This publication is the outcome of the Innovation Policy Lab, a joint undertaking between the European Liberal Forum (ELF) and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom Europe (FNF Europe). It represents a culmination of collaborative efforts, discussions, and expert insights aimed at addressing the multifaceted challenges confronting Europe. The ELF–FNF Policy Labs brought together a diverse group of policymakers, academics, practitioners, and civil society representatives from across Europe.
This dynamic gathering fostered an environment conducive to in-depth analysis, debate, and creative thinking. The participants, each bringing their unique perspectives and expertise, played a crucial role in shaping the discussions and formulating the policy recommendations presented in this book.
It is important to note that not all chapters in this publication were developed solely through this conference. While the majority of the content is derived from the Policy Labs, some chapters were influenced by additional research, expert consultations, and policy discussions. These contributions were integrated to provide a comprehensive and well-rounded set of policy proposals.
