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: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: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
