SUMMARY:2026 State of ETS - Launch
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \nThis is the launch event of the 2026 State of the EU ETS Report[1]. During this event the report will be presented by the authors and discussed by commentators. This will be the tenth annual report on the State of the EU ETS and builds on the reports produced by this group of authors\, and other partners\, in the last years. The 2025 edition isavailable through this link. \nThe European Commission is required to annually assess\, according to the EU ETS Directive\, the functioning of theEU ETS and report back to the EU Parliament and Council. While the European Commission has its role to play inproviding an official report\, it is also important that independent review and assessment of the functioning and delivery of the EU ETS takes place. \nThe 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 is intended as a “snapshot”\, providing policymakers and stakeholders with an overview of how the EU ETS is doing by April of each year\, based on previous year data. \nThis event will cover the 2026 Report. This year’s edition reflects the track record of the ETS last year\, its recent developments\, and the role the ETS is expected to play in the longer term. \n[1] The 2026 State of the EU ETS Report is a joint effort between ERCST\, BloombergNEF\, Compass Lexecon.  \nDraft Agenda Recording[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:International Townhall: CBAM in an International Context
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=””]  \nThis was an online event. For more information contact: msangiovanni@ercst.org\, hbevernage@ercst.org \nAs the EU CBAM entered its definitive phase and is impacting global climate and trade dynamics\, this second report under the Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU – Phase VII workstream examines the subject’s  international implications. It situates the mechanism within a rapidly evolving landscape of third-country responses\, emerging carbon pricing systems\, and growing discussions on interoperability and cooperation. \nThis report will provide an analysis of how the EU framework interacts with international partners and the broader global landscape it is helping to shape. It will examine emerging responses and dynamics\, as well as consider potential avenues for cooperation and engagement. The paper will conclude with reflections and recommendations aimed at supporting the CBAM’s  integration in an evolving international context. \nThis International Townhall provided the outline of the paper and brought together policymakers and stakeholders from government\, industry and other services to examine the subject  as ERCST continues drafting the report.  \n  \nAgenda  \nRecording[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Integrating International Carbon Markets into EU Climate Policy and Action
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=””] \nThis is an invitation-only event. If interested in participating\, please contact: fcalvo@ercst.org \nThis is a virtual event to be held via Zoom. \nAs part of its ongoing work on the future of EU climate policy\, ERCST is continuing its dialogue with stakeholders on the role of international carbon markets in supporting the European Union’s climate objectives. \nThe EU Climate Law foresees the potential use of a limited volume of international carbon credits towards meeting the EU’s 2040 targets. However\, how such an approach could be operationalized remains under discussion\, both within the EU and internationally. This meeting aims to contribute to this debate by examining the conditions under which international carbon markets could be integrated into the EU policy framework. \nBuilding on a draft ERCST paper prepared for this workstream\, the discussion will focus on ensuring the environmental integrity of international credits\, as well as the governance and regulatory considerations associated with their use. \nThe stakeholder exchange will explore key questions\, including: \n\nWhat criteria should be applied to determine the eligibility of international carbon credits within the EU climate policy\,\nwhat barriers and risks need to be addressed in integrating such mechanisms\,\nand how an appropriate governance framework can be designed to ensure credibility\, transparency\, and effectiveness.\n\n  \nDraft agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Managing the EU ETS for Decarbonization - Stakeholder Meeting
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 an invitation-only event. If interested in participating\, please email: fcalvo@ercst.org\, tpaperini@ercst.org.  \nThis is an in-person event\, with online participation available for participants based outside of Brussels. \n  \nAs part of its ongoing work on the 2026 Review of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)\, ERCST is continuing its dialogue with stakeholders on the future design of the system and its ability to support the EU’s decarbonization objectives while preserving industrial competitiveness. \nFollowing the publication of the first paper in this workstream\, Review of EU ETS: Issues and Levers\, which identified key concerns raised by stakeholders and the policy tools available to address them\, this meeting will focus on how the EU ETS can remain fit for purpose in the years ahead. Particular attention will be given to the role and governance of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR)\, as well as the conditions needed for the ETS to deliver both effective market operation and long-term investment certainty. \nThe stakeholder discussion will examine two central questions: \n\nhow to define a “fit for purpose” EU ETS from both an operational and investment perspective\,\nand what changes may be necessary to ensure that the system continues to drive industrial decarbonization while supporting the competitiveness of the European economy.\n\nThe event will begin with the presentation of the ERCST paper currently under preparation\, followed by an exchange of views among policymakers and stakeholders. \n  \nDraft agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Stakeholder Meeting:  Proposal for Permanent CBAM Exports Solution
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]This event is online and by invitation only. For more information contact: msangiovanni@ercst.org\, hbevernage@ercst.org \nFollowing the release of the permanent solution for CBAM exports as part of the expected EU ETS Review proposal\, this stakeholder meeting provides a dedicated forum to examine the proposed framework in detail. The proposal marks a significant step in addressing one of the most contested dimensions of CBAM design – the treatment of EU exports and their exposure to carbon leakage risk in third-country markets. \nThe meeting will bring together stakeholders to assess the proposed solution against the objectives of environmental integrity\, trade competitiveness\, and WTO compatibility. Participants will be invited to consider the practical implications of the proposal for affected sectors and third countries\, and to reflect on outstanding design and implementation questions. \nThis public stakeholder meeting is convened as a stand-alone event\, outside the regular sequence of ERCST’s CBAM project activities\, in direct response to the publication of the legislative proposal. \n  \nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Accounting and Product Standards in Rome
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]ERCST has started a new project that will have as its starting point the fact that we have reached a point in the drive towards a low-carbon economy\, where the power industry has undertaken great strides towards decarbonization and energy transition. Electrification is and will continue to play a very important part in the economic transition and is one of the many necessary conditions for the transition to succeed that have yet to achieve the level that is needed. \nThe next step is clearly a much more difficult nut to crack: industrial decarbonization. While incomplete in many cases and also imperfect\, with much work yet to be done to achieve a viable solution\, there is currently a framework in place that is creating the supply side of low-carbon products. Since we are in a market economy\, the second part also needs to fall into place\, that is\, the demand side. Hence\, the need to ensure the creation of the right framework will lead to demand for low-carbon products. \nThis ERCST initiative will therefore look at what needs to be put in place to create demand for low-carbon products\, and the starting point is that product standards need to be investigated as an option\, but not the only option. \nThe concept of product standards for industrial decarbonization – setting minimum carbon performance requirements for goods – has gained renewed attention in light of ongoing challenges in European and global climate policy. While the idea is not new\, having been proposed in various international forums (including sectoral agreements under the Kyoto Protocol)\, recent developments make it timely to revisit this approach. \nThe European Union (EU) is entering a period of significant legislative review and policy reform\, including: \n\nRevisions to the EU Climate Law to set the 2040 target and update the EU’s 2035 NDC\nFurther review and adjustment of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)\nIntegration of carbon dioxide removals in the EU ETS\nDevelopment of markets for low-carbon products under initiatives such as the Clean Industrial Deal and Steel and Metals Action Plan\n\nIn order to introduce product standards\, what is also needed is a deep examination of carbon accounting\, especially as it relates to the product level. \nThe main objective of the initiative will be to assess how carbon accounting and carbon intensity product standards could be introduced within the EU policy framework\, building on and interacting with existing instruments (e.g.\, EU ETS\, CBAM) and other relevant legislation. \nAs always\, ERCST will follow an iterative\, consultative process that will include: \n\nResearch Report: 20–30 pages with policy recommendations.\nStakeholder Engagements: 6 events – in Brussels and Member States. The first meeting is anticipated in Brussels on xxxx\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Launch of Product Standards Paper in Antalya (COP31)
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””]ERCST has started a new project that will have as its starting point the fact that we have reached a point in the drive towards a low-carbon economy\, where the power industry has undertaken great strides towards decarbonization and energy transition. Electrification is and will continue to play a very important part in the economic transition and is one of the many necessary conditions for the transition to succeed that have yet to achieve the level that is needed. \nThe next step is clearly a much more difficult nut to crack: industrial decarbonization. While incomplete in many cases and also imperfect\, with much work yet to be done to achieve a viable solution\, there is currently a framework in place that is creating the supply side of low-carbon products. Since we are in a market economy\, the second part also needs to fall into place\, that is\, the demand side. Hence\, the need to ensure the creation of the right framework will lead to demand for low-carbon products. \nThis ERCST initiative will therefore look at what needs to be put in place to create demand for low-carbon products\, and the starting point is that product standards need to be investigated as an option\, but not the only option. \nThe concept of product standards for industrial decarbonization – setting minimum carbon performance requirements for goods – has gained renewed attention in light of ongoing challenges in European and global climate policy. While the idea is not new\, having been proposed in various international forums (including sectoral agreements under the Kyoto Protocol)\, recent developments make it timely to revisit this approach. \nThe European Union (EU) is entering a period of significant legislative review and policy reform\, including: \n\nRevisions to the EU Climate Law to set the 2040 target and update the EU’s 2035 NDC\nFurther review and adjustment of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)\nIntegration of carbon dioxide removals in the EU ETS\nDevelopment of markets for low-carbon products under initiatives such as the Clean Industrial Deal and Steel and Metals Action Plan\n\nIn order to introduce product standards\, what is also needed is a deep examination of carbon accounting\, especially as it relates to the product level. \nThe main objective of the initiative will be to assess how carbon accounting and carbon intensity product standards could be introduced within the EU policy framework\, building on and interacting with existing instruments (e.g.\, EU ETS\, CBAM) and other relevant legislation. \nAs always\, ERCST will follow an iterative\, consultative process that will include: \n\nResearch Report: 20–30 pages with policy recommendations.\nStakeholder Engagements: 6 events – in Brussels and Member States. The first meeting is anticipated in Brussels.\n\nDate to be determined. \n [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Launch Event: State of the EU CBAM
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\, online event. For more information contact: msangiovanni@ercst.org\, hbevernage@ercst.org \nFollowing the preceding Stakeholder Consultation\, ERCST will launch the first edition of the annual “State of the EU CBAM 2026” Report at a pivotal moment — the first year of the mechanism’s definitive phase. The Report provides an independent contribution to the evolving policy debate\, supporting the assessment of whether the EU CBAM remains effective and fit to achieve its objectives. \nDesigned as a yearly benchmark\, the Report provides policymakers and stakeholders with a structured overview of the CBAM’s development and performance. It tracks key developments\, identifies remaining gaps and potential loopholes\, and establishes indicators to assess the mechanism over time. At its core\, the Report addresses a fundamental question: how should the success of the EU CBAM be measured? \nDuring the Launch Event\, ERCST will present the findings of the first edition and open a discussion on the current state of the instrument\, its future direction\, and the key challenges that will shape its continued implementation. \nRegister here \nDraft Agenda[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
