** The EU and the U.K. have finally struck a deal to connect their carbon markets, just in time for an upcoming summit. This means businesses in both regions will operate under a more unified system for trading emissions permits, which could streamline costs and boost climate efforts.
What This Means: ** This isn’t just bureaucratic fine print—it’s a big step in post-Brexit cooperation on climate action. Linking carbon markets helps both sides meet emissions targets more efficiently, and it signals that despite political tensions, the EU and U.K. can still work together on urgent global issues. For companies, it could mean fewer headaches (and maybe lower costs) when dealing with cross-border carbon rules.
