On paper, climate policy sounds simple: you put a price on carbon. Either you tax it, or you cap it and let firms trade. In practice, doing that for one of the world’s biggest economies — as the first mover — is anything but simple. This episode looks at 20 years of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS): how it started, the challenges, the lessons, and where it’s going next. The ETS is the world’s first major carbon market, and it has helped drive CO₂ emissions in covered sectors down by m...

Direct and indirect emissions in Agriculture are responsible for up to 30% of global man-made emissions, yet it's often left out of the climate conversation. Why? Because measuring these emissions accurately is really hard. Dr. Deconinck walks us t...
