DESCRIPTION:During this one-hour conversation\, Ambassador Khalid Abuleif\, Sustainability Adviser to the Minister of Energy and Chief Negotiator for Climate Agreements\, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia\, will shed light on the current priorities for the G20 in the area of climate change under the KSA’s presidency. \nAfter opening statements and an introductory interview\, Andrei Marcu and Michael Mehling will moderate a Q&A with participants.\nOn 1 December 2019\, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia assumed the presidency of the G20\, the premier global forum for international economic cooperation. This year’s Leader Summit will be held on November 21-22.\nClimate change remains one of the priorities of the KSA’s g20 presidency\, as shown in the extensive agenda and events associated with it. Indeed\, ‘Safeguarding the Planet’ is one of the three central aims of the Saudi G20 Presidency. Recently\, Saudi Arabia has been developing and promoting the concept of a “circular carbon economy” and intends to make it a domestic priority as well as a showcase for the G20.\n  \nRegistration Link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\nPast Events\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Virtual Russia-EU Town Hall on Border Carbon Adjustments
DESCRIPTION:European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST) is organising a virtual Russia-EU “town hall meeting” on September 8\, 2020 on the role that Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) may play in addressing asymmetry in climate ambition under the Paris Agreement\, with special focus on the plans that the European Union has to examine this option. This activity together with other similar planned “town hall” meetings will feed into a policy paper on the international views on BCA that ERCST will publish in collaboration with its partners.\nThe European Green Deal has strengthened the level of climate ambition\, increasing the asymmetry of climate efforts by aiming to achieve climate neutrality in the European Union by 2050. This raises the question of how to deal with competitive pressure and carbon leakage\, pushing BCAs to the front as a possible solution.\nBorder carbon adjustments (BCAs) aim to alleviate negative effects caused by uneven climate policies by including imports and/or exempting exports. BCAs seek to level the playing field in competitive markets\, incentivize trade partners to strengthen their own climate efforts and prevent leakage of carbon emissions to jurisdictions with weaker policies. These objectives can be achieved by a tariff or other fiscal measure applied to imported goods\, the extension of regulatory compliance obligations (e.g. ETS) to imports or a tax exemption or regulatory relief for exports.\nThis virtual town-hall is part of the ERCST project on border carbon adjustment\, which is supported by Eurofer\, Enel\, FuelsEurope\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, HeidelbergCement\, MetInvest\, and Solvay.\n  \nParticipation in these town halls is by invitation only.

SUMMARY:Border Carbon Adjustment Mechanism - Public Consultation
DESCRIPTION:This meeting is under Chatham House Rules | No press is invited \nAs part of the European Green Deal\, implementation of a BCA is once again being considered as a measure to address competitiveness concerns within the EU. According to the roadmap for the European Green Deal\, a proposal for a BCA for “selected sectors” will be released in 2021. So far\, we can only speculate what such a BCA might look like\, as few policy details have been released. Given the resurgence of discussions about BCAs on the EU political agenda\, ERCST is examining the various available policy design elements and options\, along with the associated environmental\, economic\, political and legal implications\, in order to better understand what form of BCA might work for the EU.\nThis session will build on earlier stakeholder meetings and discussions on i.a. the Inception Impact Assessment\, focusing on the initial reactions to the European Commission’s Public Consultations which are taking place until October 28th.\n  \nRegistration link \nWorkshop Material(s)\nSeptember 10 Agenda BCA Public Consultations\nDraft ERCST Rationale public consultation questionnaire\nSeptember 10 ERCST presentation BCA Public Consultations\nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\n \nPast Events\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00

SUMMARY:Webinar: Launch of the "Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU - Issues and Options" Report
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will launch the “Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU – Issues and Options” Report. The authors will present the Report and their findings through a presentation\, after which the Report will be commented on by some invited speakers and a Q&A. \nAs part of the European Green Deal\, implementation of a BCA is once again being considered as a measure to address competitiveness concerns within the EU. According to the roadmap for the European Green Deal\, a proposal for a BCA for “selected sectors” will be released in 2021.

Given the resurgence of discussions about BCAs on the EU political agenda\, ERCST has examined the various available policy design elements and options\, along with the associated environmental\, economic\, political and legal implications\, in order to better understand what form of BCA might work for the EU.\nERCST has held in-person meetings and webinars to engage stakeholders and experts across the EU\, including events in various EU capitals and Town Halls with prestigious institutions from trade partner countries\, such as USA\, India\, South Korea\, Japan\, Russia\, Ukraine\, South Africa and Mexico. The outcome of these discussions will be presented in the Report.\nERCST’s project on border carbon adjustment is supported by Eurofer\, Enel\, FuelsEurope\, the Government of France\, the Government of Germany\, HeidelbergCement\, MetInvest\, and Solvay. \nRegistration link \n \nWorkshop Material(s)\nAgenda\nPresentation of the report\nREPORT: Border Carbon Adjustments in the EU: issues and options \n \nUpcoming Events\nStakeholder Consultation: CBAM in an International ContextApril 22 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – 2026 ETS ReviewApril 23 @ 10:00 - 12:00Launch Event – Carbon Leakage under CBAM and Free AllocationMay 13 @ 10:30 - 12:302026 State of ETS – LaunchMay 20 @ 15:00 - 16:30International Townhall: CBAM in an International ContextJune 23 @ 14:30 - 16:30\n\nPast Events\n2026 Review of EU ETS – Stakeholder meetingApril 1 @ 15:00 - 17:00Launch Event – Policy options for sustainable mobility: the road to decarbonizationApril 1 @ 10:00 - 12:00Quo Vadis ETS: Challenges and SolutionsMarch 23 @ 16:00 - 18:00
