SUMMARY:Preparing for the review of the EU ETS - carbon pricing in non-ETS sectors
DESCRIPTION:Registration\nThis meeting is under Chatham House Rules \nThis meeting is part of a series of webinars which are part of ERCST’s work stream on the revision of the EU Emission Trading System. Our aim is to bring together a group of stakeholders on a regular basis to discuss the most important issues on the table for the EU ETS revision. This webinar will be an opportunity for participants to engage in a discussion on the different options to use of carbon pricing in non-ETS sectors\nSome of the key questions that will be addressed during this meeting include: \n\n\n\n\n\nWhich factors/criteria need to be taken into account on deciding which sectors should be subjected to carbon pricing?\nWhat are the different options to implement carbon pricing in non-ETS sectors? Include sectors in current ETS; introduce a stand-alone market-based scheme; or other options?\nWhat are the policy implications of extending the scope of the ETS to non-ETS sectors? How to avoid undermining the orderly functioning of the market? How to take into account other(national) policies to reduce emissions in those sectors?\nWhat are the climate governance implications\, if any\, of introducing an EU carbon pricing mechanism in sectors currently covered by the ESR?\nHow to address potential distributional effects of carbon pricing among the different Member States\, sectors and consumers?\n\n\n\n\n\nGiven its international nature\, both in terms of the activity itself and current efforts to reduce emissions\, how can international maritime emissions best be tackled by the EU\, including through coverage by the EU ETS\, while avoiding international retaliation?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST Presentation \nC.

SUMMARY:Preparing for the review of the EU ETS - The plan to decarbonize industry while protecting against carbon leakage
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rules \nThis meeting is part of a series of webinars which are part of ERCST’s work stream on the revision of the EU Emission Trading System. Our aim is to bring together a group of stakeholders on a regular basis to discuss the most important issues on the table for the EU ETS revision. This webinar will be an opportunity for participants to engage in a discussion on how the ETS can help write the story of industrial decarbonisation\, and how protection against carbon leakage can be ensured throughout phase 4.\n \nSome of the key questions that will addressed during this meeting include:  \n\nWhat is required beyond ‘a price on carbon’ for industry to decarbonize?\nWhat is the role of emerging ‘accompanying’ policies that are currently being discussed and implemented\, including carbon contracts for difference\, a consumption charge/climate contribution\, product(ion) standards\, etc; and how do they fit with the EU ETS?\nWhat type and level of public support aimed at decarbonising industry and ensuring the uptake of low-carbon products is necessary\, and what role can the EU ETS play?\nGiven the long investment cycles for industry\, what is needed to ensure investments made in the 20s and 30s will be in line with the 2050 net-neutrality goal as the carbon price alone will not drive these investments during this period?\nHow can the EU provide effective and efficient protection against carbon leakage while decarbonising its industry?\n\n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST presentation – Industrial decarbonisation and Carbon Leakage\nPresentation by A.

SUMMARY:Article 6 Community Centre: Library and Road to Glasgow
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is part of a series of webinars which are part of ERCST’s work stream on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. Our aim is to bring together a broader community\, beyond the UNFCCC negotiators\, which is interested in Article 6.  We hope to catalyse an exchange of information and experiences by organising webinars and hosting an Article 6 Library on our website.\nIn the first part of the meeting\, we will launch our new Article 6 Library which is an effort by ERCST to provide a central source of information where stakeholders can find relevant publications\, presentations and UNFCCC documents. For the second part of the meeting\, we invite a select group of leading Article 6 negotiators to express their views on what are key issues remaining and what are their expectations for COP26 in Glasgow. \nThis webinar will be an opportunity for participants to engage in discussions with leading Article 6 negotiators. \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nRecording\n \nUpcoming Events\nLaunch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\n \nPast Events\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00

SUMMARY:State of the European Green Deal - avoiding overlap and maximizing synergies between policy instruments
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is part of a continuous series organised by ERCST on the European Green Deal\, which started on 8 January 2020 right after the European Commission’s EGD was announced. This work stream aims to bring together policymakers and stakeholders on a regular basis to take stock on recent developments in the EGD framework. Each of these focus on the recent high-level policy developments under the European Green Deal\, the ‘general sentiment’ of stakeholders on the direction and implementation of the EGD\, and/or overall political\, strategic or governance issues.\nThere are 12 policy proposals expected from the European Commission by June 2021\, ranging from revising the existing climate and energy policies to introducing new fiscal approaches (both within the EU and at the border) and using new sources of revenues to speed up the transition. While it should be expected that a coherent policy package will be proposed in June\, each individual proposal will inevitably be subject to separate Trilogue negotiations.\nAhead of to the spring 2021 European Council (25-26 March)\, this session will look at how the various measures planned in the ‘Fit for 55’ climate and energy package play together\, what emphasis is being put on pricing carbon\, and if there are potential risks for waterbed effects and overlap in its implementation.\nThe first panel of this meeting is intended to take a political and strategical approach to those matters\, with a focus on the different policy tools that might put a price on carbon\, and how they fit together in delivering on the objectives of the EGD.\nAs a case in point\, the energy taxation directive (ETD)\, ETS and CBAM will have similar objectives\, including pricing carbon and generating revenues\, while protecting against the risk of carbon leakage. The second part of this meeting will focus on how the design\, coverage and functioning of these three tools will have to avoid overlap and ensure synergies.\n  \nThis meeting is under Chatham House Rules \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\n\nDraft Agenda\nAgora Energiewende presentation\nKOBIZE presentation\nERCST presentation\nUpcoming Events\nLaunch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\n \nPast Events\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00

SUMMARY:The EU ETS in the Commission's 2030 Climate Target Plan
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rules | No press  \n\n\n\n\nThe EU ETS has long been considered one of the cornerstones of the EU’s climate policy. While it has been faced by many issues\, the ETS has increasingly proven to be ‘fit for purpose’ in recent years. Today\, the EU ETS stands at the dawn of a new revision process\, which will have to ensure that it helps delivering on the European Green Deal in an economically efficient way.\nThis Fall\, ERCST will start a series of discussions on the future of this important policy instrument\, starting with a first look at the role of the EU ETS within the 2030 Climate Target Plan. This will be followed by a series of topical sessions throughout 2020 and 2021\, aimed at discussing specific elements and issues related to the EU ETS\, in preparation for the Commission’s proposal due in June 2021 and the subsequent negotiation process.\nThis meeting will follow the initial brainstorm meeting\, and will take a first look at the 2030 Climate Target Plan\, released by the European Commission on September 17\, and what role the EU ETS has in achieving this enhanced ambition\, and how it might be affected.\n\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nThe 2030 Climate Target Plan\nERCST presentation – 2030 climate target plan and EU ETS inception impact assessment\n \nUpcoming Events\nLaunch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\n \nPast Events\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00

SUMMARY:In conversation with Khalid Abuleif: Climate change priorities in the G20
DESCRIPTION:During this one-hour conversation\, Ambassador Khalid Abuleif\, Sustainability Adviser to the Minister of Energy and Chief Negotiator for Climate Agreements\, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia\, will shed light on the current priorities for the G20 in the area of climate change under the KSA’s presidency. \nAfter opening statements and an introductory interview\, Andrei Marcu and Michael Mehling will moderate a Q&A with participants.\nOn 1 December 2019\, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia assumed the presidency of the G20\, the premier global forum for international economic cooperation. This year’s Leader Summit will be held on November 21-22.\nClimate change remains one of the priorities of the KSA’s g20 presidency\, as shown in the extensive agenda and events associated with it. Indeed\, ‘Safeguarding the Planet’ is one of the three central aims of the Saudi G20 Presidency. Recently\, Saudi Arabia has been developing and promoting the concept of a “circular carbon economy” and intends to make it a domestic priority as well as a showcase for the G20.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\n \nUpcoming Events\nLaunch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\nPast Events\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00

SUMMARY:Beyond the EU NDC & Impact on the EU ETS - outreach meeting in Helsinki
DESCRIPTION:In the context of the Paris Agreement\, the European Union is increasing its efforts towards decarbonisation. Currently\, the EU climate strategy is centred around three emissions reduction targets compared to 1990 levels: a cut of 20% of GHG emissions by 2020\, at least 40% by 2030; and an implicit reduction of 80-95% by 2050. These targets have increasingly been put into question\, as many stakeholders are pushing the EU to speed up its decarbonisation efforts and embrace the goal of climate neutrality by 2050.\nIn November 2019\, ERCST presented its draft Report of the project ‘Beyond the EU NDC’. This project aims to assess whether Member States and other stakeholders are undertaking efforts to go ‘beyond’ their respective 2030 targets\, and what their perspective is on the 2050 strategy and the potential target of carbon neutrality.\nThis is one of the outreach meetings of the ‘Beyond the EU NDC’ report\, which will be discussed in 6 European capitals to gather further feedback from key stakeholders in Member States. During this meeting\, the authors will present the Report and their findings through a presentation\, after which the Report will be discussed in a roundtable setting with stakeholders. The final report – which will include feedback from the roundtables across the EU – will be published in February 2020.\nWe would like to thank Sitra for co-hosting the workshop. \nIf you would like to participate in this workshop\, please send a mail to Domien\nNOTE: Due to travel restrictions and lockdown measures put in place as a response to the COVID-19 outbreak\, this workshop was held via online video conference.\n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nO.

SUMMARY:Brainstorm on "2020 State of the EU ETS Report"
DESCRIPTION:The EU ETS Directive in its Article 10(5) refers to the fact that the European Commission has to submit each year a report on the functioning of the EU ETS.  Taking stock of the success\, or lack thereof\, of such an important instrument must be seen as an essential ingredient in ensuring it can deliver\, and that it keeps the EU on the path to decarbonisation\, while not losing sight of other important considerations\, in a world where there will continue to exist asymmetrical climate change policies.\nWhile the European Commission has its role to play in providing an official report\, it is also important that an independent review and assessment of the functioning and delivery of the EU ETS take place. ERCST\, together with a number of EU-based think tanks\, all with a long experience in the EU ETS and climate change policy debate\, have come together to develop a yearly report\, which provides an independent view of the state of the EU ETS\, and its deliveries\, at a certain time. The 2019 edition is available through this link.\nIn 2020\, the fifth annual report on the State of the EU ETS will be produced\, this year together with the Wegener Center on on climate and global change\, Bloomberg New Energy Finance and EcoAct. This first brainstorm meeting in Brussels will bring together a small group of stakeholders deeply involved in the EU ETS discussion\, to discuss the draft version of the 2020 report and highlight potential areas that need more attention.\nThe report focuses on 5 key areas: \n\nRecent policy developments and implications\nEnvironmental delivery\nEconomic delivery\nMarket functioning\nIssues to monitor for the future\n\nIf you are interested in participating\, please contact Domien at dvangenechten@ercst.org.

SUMMARY:The European Green Deal: state of play
DESCRIPTION:President Ursula von der Leyen’s European Commission released the communication on the ‘European Green Deal’ on December 11th 2020. It is presented as an outline of the new Commission’s commitment to tackling climate and environmental-related challenges. It is presented as a new growth strategy aimed at transforming the EU’s economy and lists a measures and legislative initiatives aimed at achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. \nIndeed\, the European Green Deal can be seen as a collection of priorities\, principles and areas where legislative proposals will be produced in the coming years. At this stage\, it is very broad and all-encompassing\, and still lacking much detail.\nFollowing the initial brainstorm meeting organised by ERCST in January\, this meeting will be an opportunity for participants to take stock of these recent policy developments announced under the European Green Deal\, including the investment plan (EGDIP)\, the Just Transition Mechanism and the proposal for a climate law ensuring the carbon neutrality objective. This will be followed by a discussion on what can be expected in the coming months and how the transition will be financed.\n  \nThis meeting is by invitation only – please contact Dariusz at ddybka@ercst.org if you wish to participate \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nDraft agenda\nPresentation EIB ERCST_Just Transition \nPresentation CEEP Green Deal\nPresentation ERCST Beyond NDC\n\nUpcoming Events\nLaunch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\n \nPast Events\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00

SUMMARY:Stakeholder meeting "Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU - issues and options"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the European Green Deal\, implementation of a BCA is once again being considered as a measure to address competitiveness concerns within the EU. According to the roadmap for the European Green Deal\, a proposal for a BCA for “selected sectors” will be released in 2021. So far\, we can only speculate what such a BCA might look like\, as few policy details have been released. Given the resurgence of discussions about BCAs on the EU political agenda\, it is an opportune time to have a closer look at the various available policy design elements and options\, along with the associated environmental\, economic\, political and legal implications\, in order to better understand what form of BCA might work for the EU.\nThis meeting will be an opportunity for invited stakeholders to comment on\, and contribute to\, a draft paper being prepared by Andrei Marcu\, Michael Mehling and Aaron Cosbey. This invitation is strictly personal. \nThe draft paper is intended to unpack the design elements of a BCA\, develop options for each of these elements\, and then analyze them based on the following five criteria: \n\nEffectiveness in preventing emissions leakage and spurring climate action;\nAbility to level the competitive playing field and shield European industry;\nCompatibility with international law\, especially WTO law;\nPolitical viability and potential to disrupt diplomatic relations;\nTechnical and administrative feasibility.\n\nSome of the questions that are planned for discussion on March 5th include: \n\nType of Mechanism: How should the ‘carbon border adjustment mechanism’ be implemented? Through a tax or tariff\, an extension of the EU ETS\, or an alternative mechanism (e.g. performance standards)? Should it only apply to imports\, only to exports\, or to both?\nGeographic\, Sectoral and Emissions Scope: Who and what should be covered by the mechanism? All countries\, or only countries that meet\, or fail to meet\, certain criteria (e.g. development level\, minimum carbon price\, participation in international climate efforts)? Basic commodities only\, or also more complex manufactured goods (and in both cases\, how are these selected)? Direct (Scope 1) emissions only\, or also indirect (Scope 2 and 3) emissions?\nDetermination of Embedded Carbon: How should the carbon intensity of products be determined? Based on sectoral/product benchmarks or averages\, or based on actual (reported and verified) emissions? If averages/benchmarks are used\, which? And should foreign producers be allowed to demonstrate actual emissions individually through verified emissions reports?\nAdjustment Methodology: How should the EU determine the level of the ‘carbon border adjustment mechanism’? Should it use the difference in explicit carbon price levels between the EU ETS and the foreign jurisdiction? Or the difference in effective carbon rates\, taking into account other climate mitigation policies? Or should it assume e.g. a global sectoral average\, allowing foreign jurisdictions to prove the carbon constraints in the relevant sector are higher than the global average?\nUse of Revenue: What purposes should revenue be used for? Should revenue collected with the ‘carbon border adjustment mechanism’ be earmarked for investments in the EU\, for instance in clean innovation and infrastructure\, or transition assistance to vulnerable sectors? Or should it be allocated to international climate finance\, or otherwise sent outside the EU\, for instance through an innovation fund?\nScenarios/options: in developing 1-3 implementation scenarios\, what should be the focus and what kind of balance would you advise between different priorities?\n\nThis will be the first stakeholder event for this ERCST project on border carbon adjustment\, which is supported by Eurofer\, Enel\, FuelsEurope\, the French government\, the German government\, HeidelbergCement\, MetInvest\, and Solvay. Other funders are examining the possibility of joining. \n  \nIf you are interested in participating\, please contact Eric at ewilczynski@ercst.org \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST presentation\nPresentation by G.

SUMMARY:Indirect costs compensation in the EU ETS - revision of the State Aid Guidelines (Public consultation discussion)
DESCRIPTION:The state aid guidelines for indirect costs compensation in the EU ETS are up for revision – not review – which means that they could change significantly. The current guidelines expire on 31 December 2020\, and the new guidelines would ‘indicatively’ be ready by Q3 2020 – just a few months before the new ones actually enter into force.\nThe new state aid guidelines will need to balance a number of issues\, among which: \n\ncarbon leakage risk\nrisk of overcompensation and potential windfall profits\nrisk of internal market distortion\nhow to incentivise cost efficient decarbonisation\n\nIn 2019\, the European Commission held two consultations\, a public one and a targeted one. Subsequently\, on the 14th of January it published the draft guidelines\, which are subject to a 8-week public consultation period\, ending on March 10.\nERCST has actively engaged on this topic\, organising a series of meetings on state aid guidelines and indirect costs compensation\, and responding to the first public consultation. This meeting has the intention of discussing the draft guidelines with EU stakeholders\, providing space for various stakeholders to present and discuss their submissions to the public consultation. \n[rtec-registration-form] \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST presentation\nW.

SUMMARY:EU ETS outlook in Phase 4:  Assessment of policy options for EU climate policy & ‘Preparing for the MSR review’
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is jointly organised by ERCST and Sitra (Finnish Innovation Fund) and aims at analysing the outlook for the EU ETS in Phase 4. The meeting is supported by IETA and Carbon Market Watch. The intention is to promote a discussion among stakeholders on the future of the European carbon market\, trying to assess what potential reforms might be needed to strengthen the EU ETS framework.\nThe key questions we will try to answer are: \n\nis the EU ETS ‘fit for life’?\nwill it continue playing a key role in the EU decarbonisation strategy?\nwhat reforms might be needed for it to remain a ‘cornerstone’ of the EU climate action?\n\nTo provide more clarity on these issues\, the meeting will be divided in two parts\, where two publications by ERCST and Sitra will be presented: \n\nPaper presentation by Sitra ‘The role of the EU ETS in increasing EU climate ambition: Assessment of policy options’;\nERCST paper launch ‘Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR)’.\n\nThe first session will focus on some key policy options that might be taken during the EU ETS Phase 4\, in order to align the EU ETS framework with the Paris Agreement targets. The discussion will be based on Sitra’s publication ‘The role of the EU ETS in increasing EU climate ambition: Assessment of policy options’.\nThe second session will focus on the review of the MSR scheduled in 2021\, with the launch of ERCST paper ‘Preparing the review of the MSR’. This paper aims at providing an independent contribution to the policy debate\, and outlines what elements the MSR review should include\, how the review should be structured\, and what indicators and data should be monitored towards 2021.\n  \n[rtec-registration-form] \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\n\nSitra presentation\nERCST presentation\n \nRelated Events\nLaunch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00

SUMMARY:Strategic challenges to the EU ETS in the long-term
DESCRIPTION:With the Phase 4 review\, concluded in early 2018\, the European institutions attempted to make the EU ETS fit for life up till 2030. While the implementing process is still fully ongoing\, the EU ETS has to continue to internalise new developments. These developments can be domestic\, most notably the recent call by European Commission President-elect Von der Leyen to increase the EU’s 2030 climate target and to explore the inclusion of new sectors in the EU ETS\, as well as the goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 being supported by increasingly more Member States. These developments can also be international\, such as the ongoing efforts to finalise an agreement of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement\, or efforts by other countries to reduce their emissions\, including developing carbon pricing initiatives\, as well as the level of ambition of other countries.\nIn light of such developments\, it is useful to think about the EU ETS both in the 2030-timeframe\, as well as in the longer-term\, and explore how it could adapt and address issues that emerge. A first brainstorm session was organised by ERCST on September 27\, which had the intention to discuss\, and discover\, key issues\, if any\, that would need to be explored\, as well as possibly identify work that may need to be done in the medium to long-term to help the EU ETS remaining resilient\, relevant and acceptable.\nAfter that meeting\, ERCST produced a reflection note\, which in no way is intended as a summary or conclusions of this session\, but should be seen as general reflections from ERCST on the issues that were discussed\, and an exploration of their articulation with the EU ETS.\nThese issues include: \n\nReview and revision of the Market Stability Reserve responding to market developments;\nAddressing competitiveness concerns in the long-term by introducing carbon border adjustments and operationalising Article 30;\nExploring the role of using domestic offsets through operationalising Article 24a;\nExploring options for international links with the EU ETS;\nManaging policy fragmentation through effective governance;\nExplore mechanisms to incentivise the deployment of Carbon Dioxide Removal Technologies.\n\nDuring this meeting\, we will continue to discuss these\, and other\, issues\, and identify any work that should be done. \n[rtec-registration-form] \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nFinal Agenda\nERCST Presentation\nLiv Rathe (NorskHydro) Presentation\nReflection Note \n\n\n \nRelated Events\nLaunch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\nLaunch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Stakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:002026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00
