SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment in the EU - CBAM Scope 2 emissions
DESCRIPTION:The European Commission has proposed a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism\, aiming to have the regime functional by 2023\, and negotiations are ongoing on the shape of the final instrument. One of the most critically important issues\, yet to be resolved\, is the question of whether Scope 2 emissions should be included under the mechanism. \nThis session brought together global experts in the areas of economics\, law\, and policy to explore the critical underlying questions and assess proposals to address them. \nAgenda    Eurometaux Slides

SUMMARY:Joint roundtable  ‘The IMF proposal for an international carbon price floor: a quantitative analysis’
DESCRIPTION:PwC has recently published in the context of COP26 a study together with the World Economic Forum (WEF) on the international carbon price\, which finds that an international carbon price floor would pay for itself and reduce global carbon emissions by 12.5%. \nThe international carbon price floor would also further support the EU CBAM’s objective of preventing carbon leakage by incentivising engagement with lower income countries and incentivising and supporting a fair global transition. \nThis roundtable discussion revolved around: \n●      How could an international carbon price agreement be designed and implemented and what economic and environmental impacts would it have. \n●      How can the proposals in the Fit for 55 package promote an international carbon price floor. \n●      How CBAM can incentivise more countries to adopt market-based ETS systems for carbon pricing that are consistent with the international carbon price floor. \n●      The need for an accompanying financial mechanism to direct the revenue generated towards supporting lower income countries to gradually increase the carbon price and reach net zero by 2050 as necessary to achieve the global climate targets. \nAgenda     PwC Report Slides

SUMMARY:EU Taxonomy: impacts on other policies
DESCRIPTION:This meeting took the form of a working group where stakeholders discussed specific elements of the EU sustainable finance agenda. This meeting was dedicated to the topic of EU Taxonomy impacts on other policies. Indeed\, ERCST considers the analysis of the interactions of the EU Taxonomy with other policies an important element because\, among other things\, these interactions will also have an impact on the overall functioning of the EU industry and financial market. ERCST considers that the EU Taxonomy Regulation will have two main types of impacts and interplays: \n\nFirst\, impacts on other sustainable finance (SF) policies. Notably\, ERCST intends to analyze the EU Green Bond Standard (EU GBS)\, the proposed Corporate Sustainability Reporting (CSRD) Directive and the Corporate Governance Initiative.\nSecond\, interplays with other environmental and climate policies. Notably\, ERCST intends to analyze those related to carbon pricing (i.e.\, the EU Emissions Trading Scheme and the Energy Taxation Directive)\, and those shaping public (and private) finance and aid schemes such as the Recovery and Resilience Facility and Invest EU\n\nThe 2 working groups discussed these impacts. \nAgenda    ERCST Slides

SUMMARY:Shaping ERCST's feedback on the hydrogen and decarbonised gas package
DESCRIPTION:After the publication of the European Commission Hydrogen Strategy in July 2020 and after the publication of the Fit for 55 first set of publications in July 2021\, the Commission proposed on December 15th 2021 a set of legislative proposals including the revision of the Gas Regulation 715/2009 and the Gas Directive 2009/73 (the package). Following the proposals\, the Commission has opened a feedback period that will be opened for  several weeks to assess stakeholder’s reactions to the package. \nDrawing on the lessons of previous stock-takes on the topic discussed in December 2021 and January 2022\, this meeting intends to shape ERCST feedback to the European Commission proposals. \nThis meeting intends to contribute shaping ERCST response to the European Commission Public Consultation on the hydrogen and decarbonized gas market package on three main issues:  \n\nIs the proposed definition for low-carbon hydrogen aligned with the ambitions of the European Commission hydrogen strategy?\nAre we making an excessive use of regulation for hydrogen transportation infrastructure before making sure the demand side is mature and incentivized enough as to justify this level of regulatory intervention?\nBased on the proposed regulatory framework is the EU encouraging hydrogen imports? Should the EU take this stance?\n\nAGENDA    ERCST Slides    Bellona Slides    Enagas Slides    ERCST Publication

SUMMARY:Development impact of EU’s CBAM
DESCRIPTION:Co-convened by ERCST and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) \nThe European Green Deal has strengthened the level of climate ambition by aiming to achieve climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050. The European Commission has proposed a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) as the preferred option to address the risk of carbon leakage. \nThis session explored the development dimension of the proposed CBAM along the following guiding questions: \n\nWhat are the expected impacts of the CBAM for developing country exporters?\nWhat design element choices are most important in determining those impacts?\nWhat parallel measures (outside the CBAM legislation) might the EU adopt to best position the CBAM from a development perspective?\nWhat kinds of policies might exporting developing countries adopt to support their exporters as the CBAM comes into effect?\n\nAgenda    Recording

SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment in the EU – Launch of Report on Exports in CBAM
DESCRIPTION:Since 2019\, ERCST has built up solid experience on BCAs and carbon leakage issues in the EU context. The ERCST Team has accompanied the CBAM file from its earliest stages in the legislative process\, providing analytical input to the discussion on BCAs and fostering an informed debate with domestic and international stakeholders. \nAt this event\, the ERCST presented its report on one of the “crunch issues” in the EU’s CBAM: Exports. Exports are currently not included in the Commission’s CBAM proposal due to significant legal uncertainty regarding the alignment with WTO rules. However\, there are concerns that the exclusion of exports will open up an export-related carbon leakage channel\, thereby harming EU competitiveness and climate ambition. \nThe ERCST presented its analysis and discussed the findings with those present\, thereby contributing to the understanding of what it means to address exports in the CBAM. \nAgenda    ERCST Slides    ERCST Report    ERCST Policymaker Summary    Recording
