SUMMARY:Launch Event :  Review of the EU ETS - Free allocation investment conditionality
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column conditional_render=”%5B%7B%22value_role%22%3A%22administrator%22%7D%5D” css_params=””][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This is a public event. If interested in participating\, please email:  \nfcalvo@ercst.org elesaulnier@ercst.org \nThe event marks the launch of the third report in our Review of the EU ETS series\, which we started in February and are continuing throughout the ongoing legislative process. The report focuses on free allocation conditionality and explores alternatives to the approach set out in the European Commission’s proposal of 17 July\, building on the ideas put forward in our second report. \nBy making free allocation conditional on an investment plan\, the European Commission’s proposal of 17 July appears to label it a decarbonisation subsidy rather than a carbon leakage protection tool. The proposed conditionality carries conceptual challenges\, impacts competitiveness\, and contains uncertainties-notably regarding WTO compatibility\, investment plan requirements\, and exemptions-while also affecting market functioning. Alternative approaches to investment conditionality can be considered\, such as positive conditionality\, in which free allocation remains unconditional but additional allowances could be granted to companies successfully delivering decarbonisation milestones after voluntary submission of a plan. \nAgenda \nRecording \nPublication \nSlides[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:A Vision for the future of EU Carbon Market Governance (COP31)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This is a joint ERCST\, EUI\, and Kobize event at COP31. \nThe event will discuss how EU carbon-market governance could be strengthened and explore the concept of a flexible governance and explore different models such as a European Central Carbon Bank (ECCB) or European Carbon Management Agency (ECMA) as a possible future model. How does Türkiye see this governance and what lessons it has taken from the EU experience. \nThe discussion will focus on: \n\nHow an increasingly complex system – combining a declining cap\, the MSR\, removals\, international credits and investment support – can be managed coherently.\nWhether such governance could provide an appropriate institutional framework for these new functions.\nHow stronger\, more transparent and accountable governance could support market stability\, investment and climate objectives.\n\nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Advancing Paris Agreement Implementation through Renewable Energy\, Nuclear Energy and Carbon Markets (COP31)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This is a public event at COP31. \nThis COP31 side event will explore how nuclear energy and renewables can work together to deliver resilient\, secure and decarbonized electricity systems\, while examining the role of carbon pricing and carbon markets in mobilizing investment and accelerating the deployment of clean energy technologies. \nNuclear energy can provide firm\, low-carbon electricity that complements variable renewable generation\, helping ensure grid stability\, energy security and the continuous availability of clean power. Together with renewable energy\, energy storage\, grid modernization and demand-side flexibility\, nuclear power can contribute to cost-effective pathways toward deep decarbonization and widespread electrification. \nThe discussion will also examine how carbon markets\, including mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement\, can create stronger economic incentives for low-carbon electricity investments\, recognizing the emissions-reduction value of different technologies while promoting environmental integrity\, transparency and sustainable development. Particular attention will be given to the opportunities and challenges of designing carbon market frameworks that are technology-neutral\, credible and capable of mobilizing public and private finance. \nBringing together policymakers\, energy experts\, international organizations\, financial institutions and industry representatives\, the event will highlight practical approaches to integrating nuclear and renewable energy within national climate strategies\, electricity market designs and investment frameworks. \nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:IMO: Approaches to ship decarbonization (COP31)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This is a public event at COP31. \nFollowing the adoption of the 2023 IMO Strategy on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships\, MEPC 83 approved\, in April 2025\, draft amendments to MARPOL Annex VI establishing the IMO Net-Zero Framework. At its second extraordinary session in October 2025\, the Committee adjourned consideration of the adoption of the draft amendments for one year. MEPC 84 subsequently instructed the Intersessional Working Group on Reduction of GHG Emissions from Ships (ISWG-GHG) to consider proposals on how to address concerns with the draft amendments\, in line with the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy. \nThe discussions held since have brought several fault lines into focus: the stringency and evidentiary basis of the GFI reduction trajectory; the place of financial contributions among the compliance options\, and of a centrally administered fund under MARPOL Annex VI; the predictability of support for a just and equitable transition; and the need for\, and financing of\, a dedicated incentive for zero or near-zero GHG emission technologies\, fuels and/or energy sources (ZNZs). \nERCST has offered a draft text that follows as an independent contribution to that effort. It leaves intact the elements that command general support\, namely the well-to-wake GFI metric\, the sustainable fuels certification schemes\, the reporting and verification cycle and the IMO GFI Registry\, and concentrates on the elements on which views diverge. Rather than choosing between competing priorities\, it seeks to accommodate them within a single architecture built on a single target annual GFI with a softer start and a review-based adjustment mechanism a broader set of compliance options a GFI Implementation Facility operating through two separate windows and enforcement at the national level. \nDraft Agenda \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:The State of the EU CBAM: What makes CBAM a success? (COP31)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This is a public event at COP31. \nAs the EU CBAM moved from its transition phase into its definitive phase\, this very important tools will need to be monitored to ensure that it works well and remains effective\, robust\, and fit to achieve its objectives. \nThis requires that we need to track key policy and market developments\, identify remaining gaps and potential loopholes\, establish indicators to assess the mechanism’s performance\, and explore a fundamental question: how should the success of the EU CBAM be measured? \nThe key question will be: what are the KPIs that would define “The State of the EU CBAM”? \nThis event will bring representatives from the EU and those that will interact with this mechanism from outside the EU. \nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence: Ensuring Efficiency and Legal Certainty
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This is an invitation-only\, online event. For more information contact: msangiovanni@ercst.org\, hbevernage@ercst.org \nOn 26 February 2026\, the Omnibus I Directive (EU) 2026/470 amended the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)\, narrowing its scope and removing the harmonised EU civil liability regime. In-scope companies must still identify\, prevent\, mitigate\, and remediate adverse human rights and environmental impacts in their value chains. \nAttention has now shifted to implementation: Member States must transpose the Directive by 26 July 2028\, while Commission guidelines are due by July 2027. With civil liability left to national law\, companies face divergent rules\, uncertainty over the applicable law\, and conflicts with third-country requirements. Proposals to manage these risks include calls for voluntary prioritisation of chains of activities with an EU nexus and protection from liability for companies following a reasonable\, documented\, good-faith process. Others would focus on activities with a genuine EU link\, defer to effective national law\, and tie remediation to due diligence failures. \nERCST will open the roundtable with an analysis of the main liability risks and priorities\, followed by reactions from invited panelists\, to solicit views on these proposals and facilitate a discussion among decision makers and stakeholders with a variety of backgrounds. \nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Double Launch Event:  Integration of Flexibility into the EU ETS
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This is a public event. For more information\, contact: hbevernage@ercst.org\, elesaulnier@ercst.org \nThis launch event is part of ERCST’s broader project on the EU ETS Review\, which began in February and continues throughout the ongoing legislative process. During this event ERCST launches two papers on how the EU ETS can create flexibility by accommodating removals and credits as it moves towards net zero: one on the integration of carbon dioxide removals (CDR) into the EU ETS\, and one on international credits. \n The Commission’s proposal sets aside 250 million allowances for the procurement of permanent carbon removal units\, while the European Parliament’s position has introduced important departures from the Commission text. With the co-legislators now shaping the final framework\, key design choices on CDR integration are being settled. At the same time\, the linking of the EU ETS and UK ETS is becoming increasingly relevant\, making the UK’s approach to CDR integration both a reference point and a matter of practical compatibility between the two markets. \nThe Commission’s proposal also reintroduces international credits into the EU ETS\, indirectly: from 2036\, a Commission facility would use the revenues from auctioning up to 260 million allowances to purchase high-quality international credits\, with the post-2035 cap trajectory depending on their availability. The report 5 examines the eligibility of these credits\, the timing and sequencing of their introduction\, and how their procurement should be governed and financed. \nThe launch event will present the findings of both papers\, followed by a discussion with policymakers and stakeholders. \nRegister In-Person \nRegister Online \n*Online: ONLY for attendees based outside Brussels* \nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
