But analysts are increasingly worried that technical mistakes, Europe’s prolonged recession and the failure of policy makers to strengthen the system is undermining its effectiveness. Like all such systems, Europe’s program caps the overall emissions that power plants, steel mills and other industries can put into atmosphere. Europe’s job is to put that system on a sounder footing to make sure it doesn’t undo the real progress it has made.

S tarting January 1, a new law will charge a greenhouse gas emissions tax on all air travel to and from European Union airports. The plan, which was passed by the European parliament two years ago, was recently given the green light after a court challenge led by a U.S.-based based aviation group was rejected. As a result of the new tax, airline ticket prices to EU destinations are expected to rise $3-$15.

Within Europe, the next decade and a half will see renewable energy raise its share of electricity generation capacity from 40 percent in 2012 to 60 percent in 2030 [9]. Of course, much to do remains if the global Paris Agreement climate goals are to be met, and Europe must play its role. 2016 is now set to be the warmest year on record [1].
