An analysis of the public reports submitted by Italy to the European Commission between 2014 and 2024 highlights issues with the use of revenues generated from EU ETS auctions. Reviewing the revenues from the ETS auctions reveals significant shortcomings in expenditure planning and fund traceability, with only nine percent of the revenues generated by the system have been allocated to measures addressing climate change.
The drive to innovate that has resulted from the need to meet today’s decarbonisation objectives has given rise to a new industrial revolution based on clean technology. This policy briefing, which analyses the current situation in relation to public procurement legislation in Europe and Italy, sets out a proposal for revising the minimum environmental criteria for the public procurement of construction materials, which are currently under review.
