- 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

    Can the next EU budget point the way to an investment plan for climate transition?

    Commission President von der Leyen announced a €2 trillion EU budget fit “for a new era,” set to launch for a seven-year period in 2028. As EU-watchers in Brussels and beyond scrambled to digest the reams of legislative proposals that followed this headline-grabbing announcement, much in the detail should give pause – especially from the perspective of closing the EU’s climate investment deficit.

    What’s next for climate finance? From Seville to Belém

    With the dust settling from COP29’s hard-fought negotiations on the New Collective Quantified Goal (NCQG), attention is shifting to how the climate finance goal will be met. The challenge is how to scale up financing for increasingly connected priorities in a challenging landscape of debt stress and cuts in official development assistance.
