SUMMARY:Stakeholder Roundtable – Future of Emissions Trading in the EU: Agriculture ETS
DESCRIPTION:!!! VENUE CHANGE !!! – Event will now be held at Curalia\, Rue des Deux Églises 33\, 1000 Bruxelles \n  \nThis is an in person event.  “Important! Online participation is only allowed for attendees located outside Brussels” \n  \nThis meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in attending\, please contact ncaruana@ercst.org.  \nThis meeting is intended as a brainstorming meeting for a small group of invited stakeholders and policy makers\, in the framework of ERCST’s ‘Future of the Emissions Trading in the EU’ project. The fifth theme to be addressed by the project concerns ‘Agriculture ETS’\, with the Report to be released in October 2025. \nThe “Future of Emissions Trading System in the EU” is a process that ERCST is putting in place to provide original analytical insights\, pinpoint challenges\, and propose solutions for the evolution of the Emissions Trading System in the EU with the participation in this important debate of EU institutions and EU stakeholders. In the framework of this sub-workstream\, ERCST has been organising thematic events along the last 2 years focused on key issues for the Emission Trading in the EU. This is the fifth of seven reports ERCST will produce in the framework of the Future of the Emission Trading in the EU project. \nDraft Agenda

SUMMARY:Focus Group -  Bridging the CDR funding gap: design options and policy choices
DESCRIPTION:This is an online event.  \nBy invitation only. If you are interested in attending\, please contact mvarricchio@ercst.org \nThis Focus Group is designed to examine how the European Union can accelerate the deployment of permanent CDR solutions by designing effective funding mechanisms. The discussion will begin with an exploration of the current landscape of CDR financing in the EU\, acknowledging that while CDR is increasingly recognized as a strategic tool for achieving climate neutrality by 2050\, the existing funding frameworks remain fragmented and complex to navigate. \nKey topics will include the potential of a public purchasing programme for permanent carbon removal credits\, the design and application of Carbon Contracts for Difference (CCfDs)\, and the role of other mechanisms such as competitive tenders and voluntary markets. The event will encourage debate on the advantages\, risks\, and trade-offs of each approach\, and seek input on policy choices that can ensure high-quality\, verifiable removals while mobilizing both public and private investment. \nThe goal is to identify actionable pathways for the EU to lead in the development and scaling of robust CDR solutions as part of its climate neutrality strategy. \n  \nAgenda

SUMMARY:Expert Consultation: EU CBAM Implementation Challenges
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is by invitation only. If you are interested in attending\, please contact lfleury@ercst.org. \nAs the EU navigates the CBAM transitional period\, 2025 is a pivotal year for shaping its future. Crucial reviews are underway\, and key implementing decisions are pending before the definitive period kicks off on January 1st\, 2026. \nIn its third report under the ‘Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU – Phase VI’ workstream\, the ERCST will explore the implementation challenges and\, particularly\, the circumvention risks of the CBAM. \nAt this expert consultation\, the ERCST will bring together a small group of key stakeholders to discuss circumvention risks related to the CBAM\, including resource shuffling\, transshipment\, artificial splitting\, and strategic product modifications.  \nWe’ll delve into how these loopholes could undermine the CBAM’s environmental integrity and economic impact\, assess the effectiveness of the EU CBAM’s current design in mitigating these threats\, and collectively identify solutions. \nDraft agenda

SUMMARY:Macro Economic Implications of the 2040 EU Climate Change Target
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”” css_params=””] \n  \nThis was an online event.  \nOn 2 July 2025\, the European Commission published the EU’s 2040 climate target\, proposing a 90% net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels. While the target provides clarity on the EU’s climate trajectory towards 2050\, it also carries significant macroeconomic implications. Delivering such a deep decarbonisation pathway will require major structural transformations across European economies\, with wide-ranging consequences for competitiveness\, fiscal sustainability\, labour markets\, and investment patterns. At the same time\, it creates opportunities for innovation\, technological leadership\, and long-term growth. \nThis event focused on the macroeconomic implications of the 2040 target. Bringing together leading experts in economics and climate policy\, the discussion explored the trade-offs\, risks\, and opportunities of the EU’s climate ambition\, and assessed how policy can support both climate neutrality and economic resilience. \nDraft Agenda Read our Feedback to the EC  Watch the recording[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Cracking the dilemma of international carbon credits in the EU 2040 target: can EU’s climate action turn geopolitical without losing domestic integrity?
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nWith COP30 just around the corner\, and as the EU is debating its 2035 NDC and 2040 targets\, EU faces a key strategic dilemma of whether international carbon credits should be included in its 2040 emissions reduction target and if so\, under which quantitative and qualitative conditions\, governance instruments and at which risks regarding its domestic EU ETS? Some fear that including international carbon credits will undermine EU’s climate leadership and the stability and credibility of the EU ETS and ultimately reduce the incentives for high quality carbon removals in the EU\, others accuse the EU of reneging on its obligation to reduce domestically its carbon footprint. Yet\, others see in this an opportunity for EU to leverage its geoeconomic influence\, to push further the clean trade and investment partnerships and the climate diplomacy agenda\, to strengthen the UNFCCC process at a time where the US is creating a leadership void and to transform article 6 into an incentive for investing in CDR technologies over the long term. \nThis joint Ifri & ERCST roundtable explored these positions and questions and seeked to guide the reflections on the way forward for the EU.\n\n\n\n\n  \nDraft agenda      Read our feedback to the EC Recording

SUMMARY:Low-Carbon Hydrogen Delegated Act: a turning point for the hydrogen market ramp-up? (Public Event)
DESCRIPTION:This was an in-person event.  “Important! Online participation is only allowed for attendees located outside Brussels” \nThis event aimed to discuss the final version of the Delegated Act on low carbon fuels (for which low-carbon hydrogen is the key component) and assess whether it will drive meaningful change by facilitating the scale-up of the hydrogen market\, boosting demand\, and providing much-needed clarity on the methodology for calculating GHG emissions from low-carbon hydrogen. \nKey questions that were addressed include: \n\nDoes the recently published Delegated Act provide sufficient clarity and certainty to support long-term investment decisions and accelerate the ramp-up of the hydrogen market?\nIs the Delegated Act sufficiently technology neutral to foster innovation across a broad range of low-carbon hydrogen production pathways\, beyond electrolysis?\nWhat are the most significant implementation challenges that you foresee with the Delegated Act?\n\nThis event was under Chatham House Rule. \nDraft Agenda  Slides

SUMMARY:Debate - Review of the EU CO2 Emission Performance Standards for New Cars and Vans
DESCRIPTION:This is an online event.  \nBy invitation only. If you are interested in attending\, please contact mvarricchio@ercst.org \nIn April 2023\, the European Union amended Regulation (EU) 2019/631\, setting stricter CO2emission performance standards for new passenger cars and light commercial vehicles\, targeting a 100% emission reduction by 2035. The European Commission is now reviewing these standards\, as mandated by Article 15\, to assess progress towards the 2035 targets\, considering technological developments and the need for an economically viable transition to sustainable mobility. \nERCST intends to contribute to the ongoing public consultation. The purpose of this session is to discuss and analyze the proposed review of the CO2 emission performance standards. The meeting is structured as a workshop for a selected group of invited stakeholders and experts to explore potential implications and gather diverse perspectives.\n \nDraft Agenda
