The image shows the cover of the policy brief on the left side. On the right side there is text saying "Policy brief" and "out now!" with an arrow pointing towards the cover. Below this text and arrow there is a smaller text saying: "Allowing the use of Article 6 credits, comes with risks - not only for the EU's climate targets but also for the EU and Germany in terms of economic efficiency and costs".
The EU announced it will allow #Article6 to cover up to 5% of its 1990 net emissions toward its 2040 climate target.
We take a closer look at what this means ⬇️
EU: using credits could increase emissions by up to 50% in 2040
Germany: emissions up by 42% in 2040
