SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment in the EU – Launch of Report on Exports in CBAM
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019\, ERCST has built up solid experience on BCAs and carbon leakage issues in the EU context. The ERCST Team has accompanied the CBAM file from its earliest stages in the legislative process\, providing analytical input to the discussion on BCAs and fostering an informed debate with domestic and international stakeholders. \nAt this event\, the ERCST presented its report on one of the “crunch issues” in the EU’s CBAM: Exports. Exports are currently not included in the Commission’s CBAM proposal due to significant legal uncertainty regarding the alignment with WTO rules. However\, there are concerns that the exclusion of exports will open up an export-related carbon leakage channel\, thereby harming EU competitiveness and climate ambition. \nThe ERCST presented its analysis and discussed the findings with those present\, thereby contributing to the understanding of what it means to address exports in the CBAM. \nAgenda    ERCST Slides    ERCST Report    ERCST Policymaker Summary    Recording

SUMMARY:Development impact of EU’s CBAM
DESCRIPTION:Co-convened by ERCST and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) \nThe European Green Deal has strengthened the level of climate ambition by aiming to achieve climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050. The European Commission has proposed a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as the preferred option to address the risk of carbon leakage. \nThis session explored the development dimension of the proposed CBAM along the following guiding questions: \n\nWhat are the expected impacts of the CBAM for developing country exporters?\nWhat design element choices are most important in determining those impacts?\nWhat parallel measures (outside the CBAM legislation) might the EU adopt to best position the CBAM from a development perspective?\nWhat kinds of policies might exporting developing countries adopt to support their exporters as the CBAM comes into effect?\n\nAgenda    Recording

SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment in the EU - CBAM Scope 2 emissions
DESCRIPTION:The European Commission has proposed a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism\, aiming to have the regime functional by 2023\, and negotiations are ongoing on the shape of the final instrument. One of the most critically important issues\, yet to be resolved\, is the question of whether Scope 2 emissions should be included under the mechanism. \nThis session brought together global experts in the areas of economics\, law\, and policy to explore the critical underlying questions and assess proposals to address them. \nAgenda    Eurometaux Slides

SUMMARY:CBAM Global Townhall 2022
DESCRIPTION:The European Commission put forward a proposal for a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – an enabler of ambitious climate policy in a world of unequal ambition. As other countries respond to the climate crisis\, we can expect to see them follow suit. \nIdeally there would be international coordination of these emerging policies; they have high-stakes implications for international trade\, international equity\, climate diplomacy. Some have suggested that BCAs could be an essential element of “climate clubs”\, acting both as a common tariff-like wall\, and as incentive to join. Others have called for international agreement on principles and best practice. \nThis session\, convened by ERCST on the basis of its extensive work on the EU CBAM\, brought together global thought leaders that have explored this critical aspect of CBAM/BCA\, unpacking the proposals and considering the options. \nERCST’s project on border carbon adjustment is supported by BDI\, CEFIC\, EBRD\, Électricité de France\, Enel\, Eurofer\, Eurometaux\, ExxonMobil\, Fertilizers Europe\, FuelsEurope\, Grupa Azoty\, HeidelbergCement\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, the Government of Spain\, Metinvest and Solvay. \nAgenda    ERCST Slides     DG TAXUD Slides     CSPA Slides     Hydro Slides

SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment in the EU: EP draft position
DESCRIPTION:The European Green Deal has strengthened the level of climate ambition\, increasing the asymmetry of climate efforts by aiming to achieve climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050. This raises the question of how to deal with competitive pressure and carbon leakage\, also considering the COP26 outcomes and pushing Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) to the front as a possible unilateral solution. \nSince the beginning of the CBAM Project\, ERCST presented the Sectoral CBAM Report with a deep dive into the specificities of individual sectors as well as issues and options of the general CBAM Design. It was followed by the Proposal and discussed with multiple stakeholders in the EU and internationally. The reactions to the EU Proposal were presented in September together with the Brief for Policy Makers. \nNow the EU institutions are presenting their positions. European Parliament after the Own Initiative exercise is starting the discussion on the Report which will lead to formulation of the negotiating position and ultimately to the shape of the EU CBAM in the trilogues later in the year. \nERCST’s project on border carbon adjustment is supported by BDI\, CEFIC\, EBRD\,\nÉlectricité de France\, Enel\, Eurofer\, Eurometaux\, ExxonMobil\, Fertilizers Europe\, FuelsEurope\, Grupa Azoty\, HeidelbergCement\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, the Government of Spain\, Metinvest and Solvay.\n\nWorkshop materials\nDraft Agenda\nERCST Presentation \nEurometaux Presentation

SUMMARY:Cooperation on Border Carbon Adjustments
DESCRIPTION:The European Commission has put forward a proposal for a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – an enabler of ambitious climate policy in a world of unequal ambition. As other countries respond to the climate crisis\, we can expect to see them follow suit. Indeed\, the UK has pledged to put a CBAM in place\, the US has seen a slew of legislative proposals (including the most recent which does not demand a carbon price)\, and Canada has just announced formal consultations on a border carbon adjustment (BCA). \nIdeally there would be international coordination of these emerging policies; they have high-stakes implications for international trade\, international equity\, climate diplomacy. Some have suggested that BCAs could be an essential element of “climate clubs”\, acting both as a common tariff-like wall\, and as incentive to join. Others have called for international agreement on principles and best practice. \nThis session\, convened by ERCST on the basis of its extensive work on the EU CBAM\, will bring together global thought leaders that have explored this critical aspect of CBAM/BCA\, unpacking the proposals and considering the options. \nERCST’s project on border carbon adjustment is supported by BDI\, CEFIC\, EBRD\, Enel\, Eurofer\, Eurometaux\, Fertilizers Europe\, FuelsEurope\, HeidelbergCement\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, the Government of Spain\, Metinvest\, Solvay and SITRA.  \n\n\nWorkshop Material(s)\n \nDraft-Agenda \nSurvey slides
