Climate ambition & the energy crisis: the EU ETS at a crossroads | Milan Elkerbout (CEPS)

One year after the first episode with Milan Elkerbout from CEPS (see link below), this new episode continues the discussion with him. The interview focuses on the reform of the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) agreed upon by the European Parliament and the Council in December 2022 and the extent to which the energy crisis and the high carbon prices affected the political deal reached.
Milan Elkerbout (CEPS) works as a Research Fellow and Head of the climate policy programme at CEPS, a think tank in Brussels. His research focuses on EU climate policy, particularly the EU ETS. Albert Ferrari, a Research Associate at FSR Climate, interviewed him.
The two questions covered in the podcast are:
– the most significant changes in the reform of the EU emissions trading system in the Fit for 55 Package;
– the growing concern about carbon prices’ distributional impacts and acceptability and how to tackle this issue.
