The European Climate Initiative (EUKI) project “Bridging European and Local Climate Action (BEACON)” developed 21 detailed fact sheets which set out successful climate policies from eight European countries and consider their transferability to the German context. These existing policy instruments have successfully led to greenhouse gas emission reductions in non-ETS sectors (transport, buildings, smaller industry, and agriculture
