Details

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) Provisional Common Framework has been agreed jointly by the relevant Ministers from the UK Government, Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Northern Ireland Executive, who collectively constitute the UK ETS Authority (“the Authority”) under the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme Order 2020:

• UK Government
• Scottish Government
• Welsh Government
• Northern Ireland, Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA)

The Common Framework establishes how the 4 governments will work together as the Authority to exercise decision-making powers and responsibilities relating to the implementation and ongoing maintenance of the UK ETS.

The Common Framework comprises the Concordat and Framework Outline Agreement (FOA).

The Concordat establishes a Common Framework in which decisions relating to the UK ETS can be made. The approach to the UK ETS Common Framework agreed by the Authority, including agreement to establish the Concordat, is documented in the FOA.
