Informal Dialogue on Response Measures
2019-06-15 | Pagination
By invitation only | Bonn
This meeting is part of the “Response Measures of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC process” project, following the informal forum in Katowice, held in adjacent to SB 50 in Bonn.
It aims to create 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, looking at the impacts of implementation of response measures taken by Parties and how these mitigation policies/actions could have “in- and out-of-jurisdiction” or cross-border impacts. ERCST presented its current study on providing and testing a methodology which assesses and analyses the adverse, and unintended impacts of existing and emerging, climate mitigation measures and policies. The session ended with looking at the way forward for the ongoing SB 50 and the upcoming session at COP 25 in Santiago, Chile.

Issues and options for the revision of the state aid guidelines in the context of the EU ETS
2019-05-07 09:30 - 12:30
The state aid guidelines 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.
ERCST held a first roundtable on the revision of the State Aid Guidelines related to the EU ETS on March 29th – focusing on various issues that will be central to the revision, and the options to address those issues.
We will continue these discussions on May 7th, building on feedback from industrial stakeholders to their focused consultation, and on positions for the public consultation due to end May 16th.
ERCST is preparing an issues and options paper on how indirect EU ETS costs could be dealt with by the new guidelines, building upon discussions organised by ERCST and feedback from various stakeholders to Commission consultations.

2019 State of the EU ETS Report - Launch
2019-05-07 00:45 - 16:00
This meeting is the launch event of the 2019 State of the EU ETS Report. During the meeting, the authors will present the Report and their findings through a presentation, after which the Report will be discussed in a roundtable setting. This will be the fourth annual report on the State of the EU ETS, and builds on the report produced by this group of authors in the last two years. The 2018 Report can be accessed here.
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. In December 2018, the European Commission released its fourth “Report on the functioning of the European carbon market”, covering 2017.
While 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.
The annual “State of the EU ETS” Report aims to provide such an independent contribution to the policy debate, which is needed to ensure that the EU ETS is “fit for purpose”.
The report focuses on 5 key areas:

Recent policy developments and implications
Environmental delivery
Economic delivery
Market functioning
Issues to monitor for the future

Background
The European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition and Central European Energy Partners are together working on a project that aims to provide room for discussion and capture positions from key stakeholders on the optimal functionality and overall design of the funding mechanisms in Phase 4 of the EU ETS, being the Modernisation Fund, the Innovation Fund and Article 10c derogation (transitional free allocation for the modernisation of the energy sector).
In light of this project, a paper was written, taking stock of what is known and highlighting which issues need to be elaborated on during the implementation phase, which was discussed with stakeholders at an event in Brussels in September.
Currently, a survey is being conducted with a very broad group of stakeholders, including representatives from EU Member States, and companies/associations across the Member States. The paper is also being updated to take into account the ongoing developments between September and now.

Issues and options for the revision of the state aid guidelines in the context of the EU ETS
2019-03-29 09:00 - 12:30
The state aid guidelines 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.
The new state aid guidelines will need to balance a number of issues, among which:

carbon leakage risk
risk of overcompensation and potential windfall profits
risk of internal market distortion
how to incentivise cost efficient decarbonisation

ERCST is preparing an issues and options paper on how indirect EU ETS costs could be dealt with by the new guidelines. This meeting is part of a series of meeting on state aid guidelines and indirect costs compensation, which started with a discussion with stakeholders on January 31, and will continue throughout the year with the next meetings planned on May 8 and September 19. The final paper will be released in the Autumn of 2019.
During this meeting, ERCST will present its views on the most important issues linked to the revision of the state aid guidelines, and raise some issues and options for discussion. This will be followed by panel discussions on how indirect costs should be dealt with by the state aid guidelines.

Preparing the review of the Market Stability Reserve
2019-03-28 13:00 - 16:30
The MSR has started to operate this year and the first review is scheduled in 2021. In this review, the track-record and impacts of the MSR will be analysed. Based on this analysis, and a discussion on what the MSR is ought to achieve, a decision will have to be made on whether or not to change the parameters, and if so, how.
During this event, ERCST will present an outline on how a review of the MSR could be carried out, and which parameters are to be monitored. This will be followed by two panel discussions: one on the goals and functions of the MSR and one on indicators to monitor for the 2021 review.

Informal Forum on Implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement under the UNFCCC process - by invitation only
2019-03-05 - 2019-03-06
This meeting is part of the “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.
Day 1: This meeting was the first informal dialogue following the COP 24 in Katowice, looking back on the divisive parts of Article 6 that parties worked with at the COP, such as corresponding adjustments and the aspect of transparency.
Day 2: The second day concentrated on sustainable development, the links between Articles 6 and 15, as well as burgeoning pilot projects and the potential influence they could have on Article 6. The session ended with looking at the way forward for the upcoming session in June and COP 25 in Santiago.

From Katowice to New York: Impact of COP 24 on EU Climate Change Policy
2019-02-26 12:45 - 16:30
The 24th Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC in Katowice focused on finalizing the Paris Agreement “rulebook” to operationalize the Paris Agreement itself. COP 24 resulted in decisions on nearly all of the mandated issues.
ERCST invites you to join our discussion on the outcomes and implications for the EU of COP24. The questions we will discuss include:

Has the potential of the Paris Agreement been fulfilled?
What impact does Katowice have on EU climate change policy?
How will COP 24 feed into ongoing EU discussions on long-term climate strategy to be submitted to the UN?
What can we expect from the EU and other Parties for the UN Climate Summit in September 2019?
How do we prepare ourselves in the EU for that Summit throughout the year in a participatory manner?

Please find the agenda here, you can register for this meeting via this link.

Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition Research Conference
2019-02-14 - 2019-02-15
The Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC) and the World Bank Group hosted the world’s first International Research Conference on Carbon Pricing on February 14-15 in New Delhi, India.
ERCST’s Director, Andrei Marcu, co-chaired the Research Committee of this Conference.

Research and analysis are vital for effective carbon pricing design and implementation. With the goal of strengthening the carbon pricing knowledge base and fostering an improved understanding of the evolving challenges to its successful application, the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition will convene researchers, practitioners, and interested stakeholders for the CPLC Research Conference.
The event convened over 30 researchers from across the globe to present papers on various carbon pricing themes. These papers have been selected through a review process by an international scientific committee comprising of academics, researchers, and policymakers.
The two-day Conference hosted over 300 participants and be centered around six central themes: (1) Learning from Experience, (2) Carbon Pricing Design, (3) Concepts and Methods, (4) Political Economy, (5) Decarbonizing the Economy, and (6) Emerging Frontiers. Each day will feature plenary sessions with leading experts, followed by concurrent sessions covering the six themes.

State Aid Guidelines and the EU ETS: indirect costs
2019-01-31 09:00 - 10:30
The ‘Revision of the Guidelines on certain State aid measures in the context of the GHG allowance trading system post-2020’ is well underway, and is set to be finalised by the Autumn of 2020. The guidelines are up for a total revision – meaning that all aspects and implementation of in are up for revision this year. This includes bringing the guidelines into line with the EU ETS Phase 4 Directive, but also the more politically sensitive topic of indirect cost compensation.
The European Commission has indicated that the criteria for sectors to be eligible for indirect cost compensation could be changed – and therefore the list of sectors that can apply for compensation under national schemes. Also up for revision is the maximum amount of indirect cost compensation for eligible installations and the emission intensity of electricity production (the so-called regional CO2 factors) used to determine that amount. The revision could not only revisit current rules for indirect cost compensation, but also add new ones if necessary, for example the need for installations to invest in energy efficiency.
ERCST is setting up a brainstorming session to allow stakeholders to discuss their priorities for the revision of the state aid guidelines, and to explore options and packages that mitigate carbon leakage risk while not leading to windfall profits. This is a first session in a longer-term effort that will continue in throughout 2019.
