- By : Charlotte VAILLES
  • Date and time: 17 April 2018, 2.00 – 4.30 p.m
  • Location: University Foundation, Room Cattier, 11 Rue d’Egmont 

 

The “2018 State of the EU ETS” Report aims to provide 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, analysing whether the system is performing and delivering, and discusses how the recently concluded Phase 4 review could affect its functioning from 2020 onwards.

 

The meeting will include a detailed presentation by the authors Andrei Marcu (ICTSD), Matteo Mazzoni (Nomisma Energia), Emilie Alberola (EcoAct), Charlotte Vailles (I4CE), Stefan Schleicher (Wegener Center) and Jean Yves Caneill (ERCST), followed by a roundtable discussion with senior business, NGO and government representatives.

 

The report focuses on 5 key areas:

 

  1. Relevant Policy and Governance issues, including Phase 4 review
  2. Environmental delivery
  3. Economic efficiency and delivery, including protection against carbon leakage
  4. Market functioning
  5. Making the EU ETS ‘fit for purpose’: key areas to pay attention to in the future

    Stay the course: why a stronger ETS is the key to industrial competitiveness 

    Since 2005, the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) has been a cornerstone of Europe’s climate policy. With the price per tonne of CO2 now beginning to stabilise at between €60 and €80, and the gradual reduction in free allowances, 2026’s review of the system should be an opportunity to reflect on and upgrade its performance as the EU continues towards climate neutrality.

    To strengthen European industry, let’s strengthen the ETS

    Several voices are now being heard in Europe, coming from Member States – including that of Chancellor Merz – and from industry, calling for the rules of the CO2 quota system to be weakened. For Benoît LEGUET and Jean PISANI-FERRY, this would be a mistake for Europe. And for France. On the contrary, we must strengthen this unique public policy in order to develop our industry.

    Risk levels and priorities: financing climate adaptation requires clear decisions

    As the European Commission prepares an integrated framework on climate resilience and risk management for the EU, the public consultation has just wrapped up – an important step towards the publication of the proposals for the framework later this year. One of the main areas of focus will be the issue of financing adaptation, with the first key challenge being to mainstream the concept of resilience by design into all European funding currently under discussion, including structural policies such as the Common Agricultural Policy and the Connecting Europe Facility.
