In 2016, the negotiations on the legislative instruments for the EU's 2030 climate and energy targets will take off for good. Following the proposal for a revised ETS Directive in mid-2015, the next milestone for the implementing legislation will be a new Effort Sharing Decision (ESD). The European Commission is expected to publish a proposal for the new ESD before the summer.

Against that background, the event featured insights and discussions on two central aspects in particular:

  1. How will the 40% target for the EU be shared between Member States?
  2. What are the flexibilities that could be built into the system to increase cost efficiency and increase private sector engagement?
