WWF climate work in Europe

Since the EU assumes a certain global leadership role in climate change policy, WWF is also focused on the “European capital”. WWF’s European Climate and Energy Unit is based in the WWF European Policy Office in Brussels. 

But WWF also works in many European countries on climate change since national legislation is still the best method to really implement change. One of the most crucial parts of European climate change policy is the Emission Trading System (ETS) which demands each member state design its own National Action Plan.
 
While this is not progressing well enough it is a system that can benefit the climate as well as the economy.  WWF showed that jobs are being kept and power companies remain as competitive under the ETS as they were before.
