SUMMARY:In conversation with Jacob Werksman - the EU’s international climate policy
DESCRIPTION:During this one-hour conversation\, Jacob Werksman\, Principal Advisor for International Aspects of EU Climate Policy at the European Commission (DG Clima) will shed light on the EU’s international climate policy priorities going into 2021. \nAfter an introductory interview\, Andrei Marcu and Michael Mehling will moderate a Q&A with participants.\n2020 is the year that Parties to the Paris Agreement are to communicate or update their nationally determined contribution(NDC). The EU institutions have already stated their ambition to agree upon and submit an enhanced NDC by the end of the year\, and President Xi Jinping announced in September that China will enhance its NDC\, which many observers attribute in part to the EU’s active climate diplomacy. Moreover\, other Asian countries like South Korea and Japan recently pledged a net-zero target by 2050.\nDue to the ongoing health crisis\, the UNFCCC process has also been severely delayed. COP26\, which was supposed to take place in Glasgow this November\, has been postponed by one year.\nJoin ERCST during this session to discover more about the EU’s international climate policy priorities and what to expect from the UNFCCC process going into 2021.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nDraft agenda\n\n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:The European Green Deal: State of Play
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is part of a continuous series of meetings organised by ERCST on the European Green Deal. This work stream aims to bring together policymakers and stakeholders on a regular basis to take stock on recent developments\, look ahead to what is in the pipeline\, and discuss the general implementation of the EGD framework.\nThe European Green Deal can be seen as a collection of priorities\, principles and areas where legislative proposals will be produced in the coming years. While the full scope of the EGD is not yet clear\, and many of the policy choices will only be decided upon at a later stage\, a number of policy initiatives have already been unveiled or kicked off in recent months.\nEach of these session will focus on the recent high-level policy developments under the European Green Deal\, and the ‘general sentiment’ of stakeholders on the direction and implementation of the EGD.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\n\nDraft Agenda\nERCST presentation – State of the EGD\nTotal presentation Outlook\nWWF and Poland background\nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:The role of the EU ETS funding mechanisms in delivering the European Green Deal
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rules  \nThe EU ETS ‘funding mechanisms’ are an important element of the fourth fase (2021-2030) of the EU ETS\, and will be a key financing tool to deliver upon the European Green Deal and updated 2030 climate targets. These funding mechanisms have been operationalised over the last few years – the Innovation Fund launched its first call for proposals in June 2020\, while the Modernisation Fund\, for which the Implementing Act was adopted on 2 July 2020\, is to be operationalised at Member State level.\nERCST and CEEP have together been working on this topic for the last few years\, organising workshops in Brussels and beneficiary Member States to facilitate a debate on how to successfully operationalise and utilise these funds\, and deepen the understanding of the regional financing needs and priorities. Several papers were published to update stakeholders on the implementation process and raise issues for discussion and clarification.\nDuring this meeting\, we will discuss the ‘state of play’ of the funding mechanisms and their operationalisation\, including how the beneficiary Member States intend to use the Modernisation Fund. It will also be an opportunity for stakeholders to discuss the role of the funds in delivering upon the enhanced 2030 climate targets\, and whether their current composition\, including the size\, is sufficient.\n  \nPlease register here. \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nERCST-CEEP Presentation \n\n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:The Economic Impacts of an EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is intended as an occasion to present the results of the most recent assessments on the potential economic impacts of an EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Given the resurgence of discussions about BCAs on the EU political agenda\, it is the right time to have a closer look at the various available policy design options and their economic implications\, in order to better understand what type of BCA might work for the EU and what could be the expected economic outcomes of such a policy tool.\nThe webinar will start with an introduction to the topic by Andrei Marcu\, followed by the presentations of the studies by ERCST\, KPMG (Russian Federation)\, KOBiZE (Poland) and GMK Center (Ukraine). The session will then conclude with a roundtable discussion and Q&A with the participants.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\n\nPresentation from Matteo Caspani (ERCST)\nPresentation from Jakub Boratyński (KOBiZE CAKE)\nPresentation from Stanislav Zinchenko (GMK Center)\n \nUpcoming events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\nPast events\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Webinar: Launch of the "Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU - Issues and Options" Report
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will launch the “Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU – Issues and Options” Report. The authors will present the Report and their findings through a presentation\, after which the Report will be commented on by some invited speakers and a Q&A. \nAs 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\, ERCST has examined 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.\nERCST has held in-person meetings and webinars to engage stakeholders and experts across the EU\, including events in various EU capitals and Town Halls with prestigious institutions from trade partner countries\, such as USA\, India\, South Korea\, Japan\, Russia\, Ukraine\, South Africa and Mexico. The outcome of these discussions will be presented in the Report.\nERCST’s project on border carbon adjustment is supported by Eurofer\, Enel\, FuelsEurope\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, HeidelbergCement\, MetInvest\, and Solvay. \nRegistration link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation of the report\nREPORT: Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU: issues and options \n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

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\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:The European Green Deal: State of Play
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rules | No press \nThis meeting is part of a continuous series of meetings organised by ERCST on the European Green Deal. This work stream aims to bring together policymakers and stakeholders on a regular basis to take stock on recent developments\, look ahead to what is in the pipeline\, and discuss the general implementation of the EGD framework.\nThe European Green Deal can be seen as a collection of priorities\, principles and areas where legislative proposals will be produced in the coming years. While the full scope of the EGD is not yet clear\, and many of the policy choices will only be decided upon at a later stage\, a number of policy initiatives have already been unveiled or kicked off in recent months.\nEach of these session will focus on the recent high-level policy developments under the European Green Deal\, and the ‘general sentiment’ of stakeholders on the direction and implementation of the EGD. Policy issues that will likely be high on the political agenda in September will include the European Climate Law\, the 2030 Climate Target Plan and the Just Transition Fund.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\n\n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Stakeholders' Views on the Public Consultation for the Energy Taxation Directive
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rules | No press is invited \nAs part of the policy updates foreseen under the European Green Deal\, the Commission will propose a revision of the Energy Taxation Directive\, with the stated main objectives to: \n\naligning taxation of energy products and electricity with EU energy and climate policies\, to contribute to the EU 2030 energy targets and climate neutrality by 2050;\npreserving the EU single market by updating the scope and the structure of tax rates\, and rationalising the use of optional tax exemptions and reductions.\n\nOn May 27\, ERCST organised a webinar to discuss stakeholders’ views on the submissions to the Inception Impact Assessment for the revision of the Energy Taxation Directive. This meeting intends to bring the discussion forward\, by allowing stakeholders to exchange views on the public consultation\, which is expected to be published by the Commission over summer.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation by ERCST\nPresentation by European Community Shipowners’ Association\n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00\n

SUMMARY:Virtual South Africa-EU Town Hall on Border Carbon Adjustments
DESCRIPTION:European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST) and South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) are organising a virtual South Africa-EU “town hall meeting” on September 22\, 2020 on the role that Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) may play in addressing asymmetry in climate ambition under the Paris Agreement\, with special focus on the plans that the European Union has to examine this option. This activity together with other similar planned “town hall” meetings will feed into a policy paper on the international views on BCA that ERCST will publish in collaboration with its partners. \nThe 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\, pushing BCAs to the front as a possible solution.\nBorder carbon adjustments (BCAs) aim to alleviate negative effects caused by uneven climate policies by including imports and/or exempting exports. BCAs seek to level the playing field in competitive markets\, incentivize trade partners to strengthen their own climate efforts and prevent leakage of carbon emissions to jurisdictions with weaker policies. These objectives can be achieved by a tariff or other fiscal measure applied to imported goods\, the extension of regulatory compliance obligations (e.g. ETS) to imports or a tax exemption or regulatory relief for exports.\nThis virtual town-hall is part of the ERCST project on border carbon adjustment\, which is supported by Eurofer\, Enel\, FuelsEurope\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, HeidelbergCement\, MetInvest\, and Solvay.\n  \nParticipation in these town halls is by invitation only.

SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism - Public Consultation
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rules | No press is invited \nAs 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\, ERCST is examining 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 session will build on earlier stakeholder meetings and discussions on i.a. the Inception Impact Assessment\, focusing on the initial reactions to the European Commission’s Public Consultations which are taking place until October 28th.\n  \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Material(s)\nSeptember 10 Agenda BCA Public Consultations\nDraft ERCST Rationale public consultation questionnaire\nSeptember 10 ERCST presentation BCA Public Consultations\nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Virtual Mexico-EU Town Hall on Border Carbon Adjustments
DESCRIPTION:European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST) and Iniciativa Climática de México (ICM) are organising a virtual Mexico-EU “town hall meeting” on August 27\, 2020 on the role that Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) may play in addressing asymmetry in climate ambition under the Paris Agreement\, with special focus on the plans that the European Union has to examine this option. This activity together with other similar planned “town hall” meetings will feed into a policy paper on the international views on BCA that ERCST will publish in collaboration with its partners.\nThe 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\, pushing BCAs to the front as a possible solution.\nBorder carbon adjustments (BCAs) aim to alleviate negative effects caused by uneven climate policies by including imports and/or exempting exports. BCAs seek to level the playing field in competitive markets\, incentivize trade partners to strengthen their own climate efforts and prevent leakage of carbon emissions to jurisdictions with weaker policies. These objectives can be achieved by a tariff or other fiscal measure applied to imported goods\, the extension of regulatory compliance obligations (e.g. ETS) to imports or a tax exemption or regulatory relief for exports.\nThis virtual town-hall is part of the ERCST project on border carbon adjustment\, which is supported by Eurofer\, Enel\, FuelsEurope\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, HeidelbergCement\, MetInvest\, and Solvay.\n  \nParticipation in these town halls is by invitation only.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with Karsten Sach: Priorities of the German Presidency of the Council of the EU
DESCRIPTION:During this one-hour conversation\, Karsten Sach\, Director-General for European and International Climate Policy of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment\, Nature Conservation\, and Nuclear Safety (BMU)\, will shed light on Germany’s climate priorities for their term. After an introductory interview\, Andrei Marcu (ERCST) will moderate a Q&A with participants.\nOn 1 July\, Germany will assume the presidency of the Council of the EU from Croatia\, for the remainder of 2020. The German presidency has already been dubbed the ‘crisis’ presidency\, as it will have the challenging task to facilitate the negotiations regarding the EU’s response to the COVID-19 crisis\, including the EU’s 21-27 budget and Recovery Fund.\nClimate policy will be one of the other ‘central issues’ for the presidency\, and several high-profile files\, including Council discussions on the Climate Law\, the Commission’s presentation of the 2030 Climate Target Plan and a potential update of the EU NDC\, will likely be on the political agenda.\nIn addition\, the German Presidency was to span COP 26 in Glasgow\, a critical moment for those that look for an increase in NDC commitments. The EU\, led by the Presidency\, was expected to play a critical role in articulating the EU and global ambition\, together with looking for a solution for the Article 6 rulebook. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\n\n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch 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\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:EU ETS Market Stability Reserve: Coping with COVID-19 and preparing for the review
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is part of an ongoing effort by ERCST to promote a discussion on the review of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR)\, scheduled in 2021. ERCST has organised several meetings on this topic throughout 2019\, and launched its paper “Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve” last November.\nHalf a year later\, the context of this upcoming review has changed completely. The European Green Deal announced an increase in the 2030 and 2050 ambition\, and mandated a review of the entire Energy and Climate Framework\, for which the proposal is expected by June 2021. In recent months\, Europe and the rest of the world has been hit by COVID-19\, and the measures put in place to address the health crisis will have strong impacts on the economy\, accompanied by significantly lower CO2 emissions in 2020.\nThis meeting aims to explore the ramifications of the current crisis on the EU ETS\, and on the functioning of the Market Stability Reserve. Moreover\, a discussion is warranted on what is still to be expected from the mandated MSR review itself\, given the expected proposal for the revision of the entire ETS directive\, and how the two will be articulated.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nBackground note on the MSR by ERCST\nPresentation by ERCST\nPresentation by L.
