About the UK Emissions Trading Group (ETG)

The UK Emissions Trading Group (ETG) provides a forum for discussion between business and the UK Government and other decision makers. We exchange information and thinking with the UK Government and other decision makers on the formation, impacts and practical application of emissions trading policy and also other climate change regulation. ETG helped to establish the very first emissions trading scheme in the UK. The affairs of the ETG are managed by the ETG Board, and the ETG Secretariat is responsible for day-to-day administration. The work programme of ETG is initiated and carried out by the EU ETS Working Group and the Domestic Measures Working Group.
