The European Green Deal Package was presented on December 11, 2019. It contains a large number of components, some of which are already being discussed, such as the Just Transition Mechanism or the Sustainable Europe Investment Plan, as well as a commitment to introducing a border carbon adjustment mechanism (BCAM) in the EU.
As the EU considers its most ambitious decarbonisation targets yet under the European Green Deal, many consider a border carbon adjustment essential to sustain Europe’s continued leadership in a world of asymmetrical climate efforts. Technical and administrative details need to be resolved for such a policy to become reality, and that will be complex. But the greatest challenges will likely be political in nature. Which stakeholders will support or opposed a border adjustment for climate, and, in particular, how are Europe’s foreign trade partners going to react?
The webinar will take the form of a high-level dialogue, aimed to start an informal conversation on one of the most controversial elements of the EU’s policy agenda in coming years, BCAs. This webinar features a panel conversation with leading thinkers on the issues, and offers an opportunity for interaction with policy makers and stakeholders.
 

Please note that, due to current circumstances, the meeting will take place via online video conference. Registration link to the Webinar.
