SUMMARY:Informal Dialogue on Response Measures
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is part of the “Informal dialogue on Response Measures” project\, an independent initiative aimed at creating an informal atmosphere where the participants can explore\, discover\, explain and understand different points of view related to the issues in Article 4.15 of the Paris Agreement. The objective is to further understanding of the options available to define functions\, modalities and work programme of the Forum under the Paris Agreement\, as well as the consequences of adopting each option.\nWhat is also very important is\, to the extent that participants are willing to explain\, to understand the different views\, and more importantly\, WHY these views are held. The discussions will be free and informal.\n\nFiles\nA. Cosbey\nFinal Agenda

SUMMARY:Launch event - Developing the EU Long-Term Climate Strategy
DESCRIPTION:This is the launch event of two papers co-authored by ERCST/ICTSD and Bruegel\, as part of the joint project ‘Developing the EU Long-Term Climate Strategy’. This meeting will include a detailed presentation by the authors Andrei Marcu (ERCST/ICTSD) and Georg Zachmann (Bruegel)\, and will benefit from the participation of\, among others\, Eva Svedling\, Swedish State Scretary for Climate Eva Svedling\, and Artur Runge Metzger\, Director at DG Climate. \nThe European commission has decided to renew its “Roadmap for moving to a competitive low carbon economy in 2050”. The Roadmap is an important policy document\, bringing a long-term outlook to the EU’s decarbonization transition while promoting consistency with science\, addressing energy-security and ensuring opportunities for growth and jobs. \nHowever\, much has changed since the Roadmap was issued in 2011. The Paris Agreement has raised global climate change mitigation ambition – setting the EU on the path towards zero-net emissions by 2050\, and the scientific understanding of climate change has been further deepened through the more recent IPCC 5th Assessment Report. The EU’s Energy Union package needs to be factored into its internal longer-term climate policy perspective\, as well as the decreased costs of mitigation technologies such as renewable energy. \nThe EU needs an updated long-term roadmap\, not only to maintain consistency with longer-term objectives and for the 2018 Facilitative Dialogue\, but also to ensure the long-term policy predictability necessary for enabling and maintaining the low-carbon transition and linked investments. \nThe project “Developing the EU Long-Term Climate Strategy”\, a joint initiative of Bruegel and the European Roundtable Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST/ICTSD)\, aims to provide a “roadmap” for the development and delivery of the EU’s new long-term decarbonization strategy.\nAfter the five workshops across the EU to gather the views of stakeholders\, the two deliverables of the project are launched today:\ni. A technical document\, describing all potential choices that could be made in the new long-term climate strategy\, with an analysis of the trade-offs implied.\nii. A policy document\, presenting a number of inherently consistent set of choices that may serve as basis to build the new roadmap.\n \nThis project is made possible by the generous support of Sweden\, Denmark\, France and Germany\, the European Climate Foundation\, Climate-KIC\, Enel\, EdF and Shell.\n \nFiles\nPresentation\nFinal Agenda\nKey links\nPolicy Paper\nTechnical Paper

SUMMARY:2018 State of the EU ETS Report - Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is the launch event of the 2018 State of the EU ETS Report. 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.  \n \nThe EU’s Emission Trading System has now been in operation for more than a decade\, and underwent numerous reform measures\, including the recently concluded Phase 4 review.\nAs any other undertaking it requires\, periodically\, an assessment regarding its well-functioning and delivery of its objectives. In this respect\, the European Commission is required to annually assess\, according to the EU ETS Directive\, the functioning of the EU ETS and report back to the EU Parliament and Council.\nWhile the European Commission has its role to play in providing an official report\, it is also important that independent review and assessment of the functioning and delivery of the EU ETS takes place.\nThe “2018 State of the EU ETS” Report\, the third of its kind\, aims to provide such an independent contribution to the policy debate\, which is needed to ensure that the EU ETS is “fit for purpose”. This Report discusses the current state of play in the EU ETS\, analyses whether the system is performing and delivering\, and discusses how the recently concluded Phase 4 review could affect its functioning from 2020 onwards. For all its faults\, the EU ETS should not be compared to an ideal world\, but the real options that would be available to address climate change. This will be the third report.\n \nThe 2018 State of the EU ETS Report is a joint initiative by ERCST/ICTSD\, Nomisma Energia\, I4CE\, Wegener Center at the University of Graz and EcoAct.\nThis will be the third report on the State of the EU ETS and builds on the report produced by this group of organizations in 2017\, as well as the 2016 report produced by the current ERCST staff.\n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nPresentation\nFinal Agenda\n \nKey Links\n2018 State of the EU ETS Report

SUMMARY:Informal Forum on Implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC process
DESCRIPTION:This workshop held in Tokyo is part of the Informal Forum on Implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC process. This workshop followed SBSTA 47 held in Bonn. Article 6 negotiations are carried out under Agenda Item 11. An Informal Note was produced during SBSTA 47 which outlined draft elements for a text. The decision also mandated the SBSTA chair to produce a new informal document prior to SBSTA 48. This workshop intersected SBTSA 47 and 48 and aims to create an informal atmosphere where the main objective is to explore\, discover\, explain and understand different points of view related to the issues in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.\nThe first day included the presentation of a straw man outlining elements of guidance under Article 6.2\, building on the informal note and prior submissions by Parties. The paper will have been peer reviewed by a number of prestigious institutions from both developed and developing countries\, who follow Article 6 negotiations.The straw man intends to eliminate duplications\, but keep all substantive options\, and produce a useful framework for discussion for negotiators in their informal deliberations and preparations leading to SBSTA 48 in Bonn\, May 2018. This was followed by reactions and thought on Article 6.2.\nThe second day focused on Article 6.4. Invited speakers gave presentations on parts of the Art 6.4 Informal Note and discussed: any overlaps or duplications in the headings or options\, any missing options\, the need to eliminate overlaps to streamline the paper and provide clarity\, the substance in every option\, with pros and cons.\n \nFiles\nReedsmith\nY.

SUMMARY:Częstochowa Workshop - Developing the EU Long-Term Climate Strategy
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part into the project “Developing the EU long-term climate strategy” that aims to provide a “roadmap” for the development and delivery of a long-term decarbonisation strategy for the EU. The project itself will deliver two products: A Technical paper and a Policy paper.\nThe Technical Paper will describe all potential choices that can be made in the new long-term climate strategy\, with an in-depth analysis of the trade-offs implied. This will include the main elements that will need to be considered in reviewing the current 2050 Roadmap\, and will also cover the process that should be used in the development and the delivery of the new roadmap.\nThe Policy Paper will present different bundles of inherently consistent set of choices that may serve as basis to build the new roadmap.\nThe workshops that are part of the project will discuss key choices to be made in a new decarbonisation strategy document. This event will feed into the project\, and it is organized in cooperation with the Polish Ministry of the Environment and the Polish National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management. Other workshops will be held in Berlin\, Copenhagen and Rome.\nGiven the amount of information and issues for discussion we decided that all workshops will cover certain crucial elements and the general structure. However\, to ensure that an in-depth discussion is possible\, each workshop will focus on a selected number of issues (as identified in the agenda below) which will vary from workshop to workshop.\nThis project is a joint initiative of Bruegel and ERCST/ICTSD\, and is made possible by grants from the Governments of Denmark\, France\, Germany and Sweden\, as well as the European Climate Foundation\, Climate-KIC\, ENEL\, EdF and Shell.\n \nFiles\nFinal Agenda\nPresentation

SUMMARY:Implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement
DESCRIPTION:Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (PA) addresses the issue of “cooperative approaches” under the Paris Agreement. A significant part of it aims to create the framework to ensure that international markets can be a tool to meet National Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the PA.\n \nAfter COP 21 in Paris\, negotiators have a mandate to create a rulebook to ensure that this\, and other parts of the PA become operational. Negotiators are aiming for completing this task in 2018 at COP 23.\nThis side event is an opportunity for stakeholders to be briefed by and enter in discussion with some of the most knowledge participants in these negotiations to understand the progress and challenges  towards the implementation of Article 6 of the PA.            \n \nFiles\nFinal Agenda

SUMMARY:Informal Forum on Implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC process
DESCRIPTION:The Paris Climate Agreement adopted in December 2015 recognises cooperative approaches as an important element in the climate change mitigation effort. \nArticle 6 of the Paris Agreement includes several privisons to this end. However\, before the agreement enters into force\, a substantial amount of work needs to be done at the political and technical level in order to operationalise this article.\nThis meeting is a continuation of the project “Implementation of markets and non-market provisions in the Paris Agreement.” It will bring together carbon market negotiators in an informal setting with the objective to explore\, discover\, explain and understand different points of view related to the issues in Article 6. The purpose is to understand the options available to define rules\, modalities and procedures on Article 6\, as well as the consequences of adopting each option. It will also seek to understand why different views are held.\nThe discussions are free and informal\, and will be held under Chatham House rule. This process is totally separate from the UNFCCC negotiating process. There is no intention or mandate to produce any text or negotiate an outcome.\nParticipation is by invitation only.\n \nFiles\nFinal Agenda

SUMMARY:Informal Forum on Implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC process
DESCRIPTION:Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (PA) is often referred to as the “markets article”\, but it is more than that. Indeed\, it offers a framework for international cooperation between Parties to meet the goals and objectives of the PA.\nUnderstanding of the elements needed to operationalize Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (PA) has evolved since COP 21 through formal and informal discussions\, through workshops as part of the UNFCCC process\, and through Party submissions to SBSTA.\nThis meeting is part of the project “Implementation of markets and non-markets provisions in the Paris Agreement” project\, which aims to create an informal atmosphere\, where the main objective is to explore\, discover\, explain and understand different points of view related to the issues in Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. That is\, to understand the options available to define rules\, modalities and procedures on Article 6 of the Paris Agreement\, as well as the consequences of adopting each option.\nThe discussions are free and informal\, and will be held under Chatham House rule. This process is totally separate from the UNFCCC negotiating process. There is no intention or mandate to produce any text or negotiate an outcome.\n \nFiles\nFinal Agenda

SUMMARY:EU ETS Phase 4 - the final stretch
DESCRIPTION:The EU ETS Phase 4 discussion is nearing the end\, yet there are still significant differences in position between the various negotiating parties in the trilogue\, and between members of the broader community of stakeholders. \n\n\n\nThis meeting focused on two aspects of the Phase 4 discussion: how do we address the large over-supply of allowances currently in the market and how will carbon leakage protection evolve up to 2030. It is hoped that this meeting will help catalyze a solution that will provide a good balance between these two elements\, and ensure that the EU ETS remains a central element of the EU climate policy.\n\nFiles\nFinal Agenda

SUMMARY:Implementation of Market and Non-Market Provisions in the Paris Agreement
DESCRIPTION:The Paris Climate Agreement adopted in December 2015 recognises cooperative approaches as an important element in the climate change mitigation effort. \nArticle 6 of the Paris Agreement includes several privisons to this end. However\, before the agreement enters into force\, a substantial amount of work needs to be done at the political and technical level in order to operationalise this article.\nThis meeting will be the fifth meeting of the project “Implementation of markets and non-market provisions in the Paris Agreement.” It will bring together carbon market negotiators in an informal setting with the objective to explore\, discover\, explain and understand different points of view related to the issues in Article 6. The purpose is to understand the options available to define rules\, modalities and procedures on Article 6\, as well as the consequences of adopting each option. It will also seek to understand why different views are held.\nThe discussions are free and informal\, and will be held under Chatham House rule. This process is totally separate from the UNFCCC negotiating process. There is no intention or mandate to produce any text or negotiate an outcome.\nParticipation is by invitation only.\n \nFiles\nFinal Agenda
