LIFE SIDE project web site live!
Nov 23, 2016

The web site of the LIFE SIDE project is now live.
The project will support Member States’ policy makers who will be contributing to the design and implementation of the new EU ETS legislation.
In particular, the project will collect and disseminate empirical knowledge and information on the economic functioning of the EU ETS; establish a network bringing together EU ETS experts; create a forum enabling interaction amongst policy makers, stakeholders and EU ETS experts.
LIFE SIDE officially started on 1 September 2016 and will last for 22 months.
