Abstract: This paper analyzes the influence of ecological economics (EE) in the European Union (EU) political agenda, specifically the agenda-setting dynamics of the cap-and-trade (CAT) EE policy concept. We follow the model developed by Boezeman, Leroy, Maas, and Kruitwagen (2010), elaborating on the important factors for the rise of CAT in the EU political agenda, and on the EU emissions trading scheme (ETS) implementation issues.
