	Summary: Before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU had planned to expand its emissions trading system (EU ETS) and strengthen the carbon price it generates. The economic recovery from the pandemic led to an energy crunch, and war in Ukraine contributed to increasing energy prices and complicated the politics of carbon pricing. This policy brief discusses how to make a higher and more comprehensive EU carbon price both effective and politically feasible.
