00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:01.080
Let’s be honest,

00:00:01.080 --> 00:00:01.720
have you ever heard

00:00:01.720 --> 00:00:04.280
of the EU-ETS before?

00:00:04.280 --> 00:00:05.639
The European Union Emission

00:00:05.639 --> 00:00:07.120
Trading System.

00:00:07.120 --> 00:00:07.919
Well, I haven’t

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:08.839
And that’s probably why

00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:10.759
nobody talks about it.

00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:11.880
But we should.

00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:12.800
There is a fixed

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:14.199
CO₂-budget

00:00:14.199 --> 00:00:15.400
for all of Europe.

00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:16.719
Industries are only permitted to emit

00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:18.280
the amount of CO₂ they are

00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.359
entitled to by emission allowances.

00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.120
The interesting thing is that

00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:23.120
these allowances can be

00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:24.399
bought by any of us.

00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:25.760
And then be deleted unused.

00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:27.800
And that’s what ForTomorrow does.

00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.000
They take emission allowances

00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:29.760
off the market.

00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:31.600
And the saved amount of CO₂ 

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:32.679
can no longer

00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:34.320
be emitted in Europe.

00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:35.240
Never again.

00:00:35.240 --> 00:00:37.240
That has three impacts.

00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:38.520
First:

00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.439
The real CO₂-emissions decrease.

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:41.640
Second:

00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:42.560
It is becoming increasingly

00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:43.960
expensive to emit CO₂.

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.840
And that encourages

00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:45.840
sustainable solutions.

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:46.840
And third:

00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.759
The money raised is used for

00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.439
the EU Innovation Fund.

00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:51.320
In other words,

00:00:51.320 --> 00:00:52.920
for real future technologies.

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:53.759
And that alone is

00:00:53.759 --> 00:00:54.960
immensely important.

00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:56.000
ForTomorrow is also

00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.240
creating new forest areas

00:00:57.240 --> 00:00:58.960
here in Germany.

00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:00.439
In areas where forests

00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:01.960
are needed urgently.

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.319
And forests are known to bind CO₂.

00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.280
Anyone can participate

00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.079
and ForTomorrow

00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:08.280
is organising everything for you.

00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:09.519
Right here in Europe:

00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.280
transparent, long-term and effective.

00:01:12.280 --> 00:01:13.200
I think we should stop

00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:14.480
talking about climate protection

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.159
and simply do it.
