Following the publication of its new report “Feasibility and impacts of EU ETS scope extension: road transport and buildings”, CERRE is hosting a public event to debate the outcomes of the study with the authors, experts and policy makers.
Placed at the top of the EU Commission’s Fit for 55 package, the revision of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is set to play a crucial role in the journey towards ;Yet, climate neutrality is not the only policy ambition for which a reformed ETS system is relevant: the recent conclusion of the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement has made it even more necessary to aim for a sustainable link between the UK and EU Emissions Trading Systems. This will be crucial for future energy cooperation and to avoid impact on consumers.
Mitigating distributional effects is also at the centre of this discussion. The CERRE report identifies several policy options, including adjusting existing fuel taxes and the targeted use of revenue to support poorer consumers who might be adversely affected by the extension.
The debate, moderated by CERRE Energy & Climate Director, Máximo Miccinilli, will be livestreamed on the CERRE website and YouTube channel (CERRE Think Tank) on Wednesday 10 February at 14:00 CET. Viewers will have the chance to ask questions via during the event.
