AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoEU Climate Policy: The European Commission is set to propose the biggest overhaul of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), aiming to keep long-term climate goals on track while easing pressure from high carbon costs on industry; the plan would extend free permit support longer, slow the tightening of emissions limits, and tie financial help more closely to clean-tech investments. Liechtenstein-Linked Carbon Markets: The EU ETS already applies across EU states plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, and is linked with Switzerland’s system—so any changes will ripple into Liechtenstein’s carbon-pricing environment. Trade & Sustainability: Vietnam and EFTA (including Liechtenstein) have concluded a long-running free trade deal, covering goods and services, investment, and environmental protection and sustainable development, with signing expected in Q4. Local Environment Compliance: Austria warns travellers that bringing fruit, plants and even “souvenirs” made from protected species can lead to confiscation and fines; in early 2026, Vienna Airport seized about three tonnes of un-documented plant and food items. Road-Trip Pressure: UK roads brace for the busiest weekend in four years, with 14.1 million drivers heading out—an indirect reminder of rising transport emissions during peak travel.
