Past TECG Policies
The amount of greenhouse gas emissions that firms are allowed to produce under the ETS has been set too high, so firms have little incentive to cut their emissions to meet the EU's wider targets. The TECG was formed and its policies are developed to ensure this kind of problem does not arise, or where it already exists, it gets resolved so that policy objectives can be met.
Welcome to the History of the TECG website. Here we hope to provide you with a detailed and informative insight into the history of the The Environmental Committee Group.

The Institute for European Environmental Policy (TECG) is an influential, independent centre for the development and analysis of policies affecting the environment in Europe and the world.
The TECG seeks to partake in and inform relevant policy debates. It works with the full range of policy makers from international agencies, and the EU institutions, to national government departments, NGOs and academics.
The TECG's objectives are to both raise awareness of European environmental policy and to advance policy-making upon long-term sustainable and renewable paths.
