    The European Union (EU) has been advocating climate policy ambitions from the very beginning of the international climate regime. Climate action to support the implementation of the Paris Agreement (2015) involves nearly all fields of national and international policy-making. In this research paper, we look into the role of trade policy in this respect. There are several legal and institutional options for how policy-makers in the EU and elsewhere could promote a productive relationship between the UN climate regime and the international trade regime, comprising the World Trade Organization (WTO) and regional trade agreements (RTAs). The increasing number of WTO disputes over national renewable energy policy regulations points to a systemic conflict between national climate policies and WTO obligations, whereas a number of RTAs including environmental standards demonstrate positive ways forward, in particular on how to avoid a race to the bottom. As a longer-term vision, we identify the legal options under the WTO regime, and for the medium term we suggest synergies that the EU can achieve through RTA negotiations and reviews. In the short term, the EU and its Member States should push for more transparency on trade-related climate measures, for example through notifications, between the bodies of the WTO and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, as well as follow up with climate policy allies on trade initiatives that support the climate agenda.

    Under the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), operators must surrender allowances corresponding to the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) from their installations. The supply of allowances in the EU ETS decreases linearly and, all else equal, is expected to end around 2057. An earlier cut-off date is likely to follow from the European Council’s recent decision that the EU should reach net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. Scenarios published by the European Commission even anticipate a net-negative cap in the EU ETS from 2045 onwards, generated through carbon dioxide (CO2) removals. Upholding emissions trading, in the long run, therefore entails significant use of credits resulting from atmospheric CO2 removal activities. However, in its current form, the ETS Directive does not contain any legal basis for generating CO2 removal credits. Integrating CO2 removal into the EU ETS would, thus, require fundamental amendments of the ETS Directive, waiving the currently mandatory association binding emitting activities to the adoption of emission abatement technologies. The next policy window for such amendments will open in 2021, following the decision on a more ambitious EU 2030 emission reduction target. This conceptual paper explores various design options for integrating negative emissions technologies (NETs) into the EU ETS. We discuss their potential implications for emissions trading at large and address the specificity of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS); repealing the provision that installations exclusively using biomass are not covered by the ETS Directive, BE(CCS) installations could in principle fall within the scope of the ETS Directive. Theoretically, it would be possible to consider free allocation of biogenic credits to BE(CCS) installations. Bioenergy operators could avoid having to surrender these biogenic allowances through the use of CCS and instead sell them on the EU ETS market, having implicitly received credits for the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.

    The competition for carbon capture, storage, and utilisation is intensifying. Historically dominated by North America, the lead in this technology is now being seized by key players across Asia - reaching from Saudi Arabia to Japan. Unlike traditional energy (transition) geopolitics, this new arena prioritises technology, geology, and industrial leadership over raw materials. For Germany and Europe, the developments imply a need for more pragmatism in climate diplomacy and policy instruments. Moreover, to keep pace with competitors, policymakers should adopt a proactive approach to CCS vis-à-vis technology and industry.

    Zusammenfassung: Wenn die EU bis 2050 Netto-Null-Emissionen erreichen will, wird es nicht genügen, konventionelle Klimaschutzmaßnahmen zur Emissionsvermeidung zu ergreifen. Um unvermeidbare Restemissionen auszugleichen, werden zusätzlich auch unkonventionelle Maßnahmen zur Entnahme von CO2 aus der Atmosphäre notwendig sein - etwa mittels Aufforstung oder der Direktabscheidung von CO2 aus der Umgebungsluft. Nicht alle Mitgliedstaaten und Branchen werden im Jahr 2050 bereits Treibhausgasneutralität erreicht haben, manche werden 2050 schon unter Null liegen müssen. Die Option der CO2-Entnahme aus der Atmosphäre ermöglicht eine stärkere Flexibilisierung der Klimaschutzpolitik, wird aber auch neue Verteilungsfragen aufwerfen. Die Vermeidung von Treibhausgasemissionen sollte gegenüber der nachträglichen Entnahme von CO2 politisch priorisiert werden. Netto-Null-Ziele sollten explizit in Emissionsminderungsziele und Entnahmeziele unterteilt werden, statt die Effekte beider Ansätze beliebig miteinander zu verrechnen. Die zukünftige Entwicklung einer EU-CO2-Entnahme-Politik sollte durch ein adäquates Policy-Design in produktive Bahnen gelenkt werden. Ob die EU mittelfristig einen proaktiven oder zurückhaltenden Einstiegspfad wählt, wird nicht zuletzt mit davon abhängen, welche Netto-Negativ-Ziele sie für die Zeit nach 2050 anstrebt. Die EU sollte ihren Fokus in den kommenden Jahren darauf richten, verstärkt in Forschung und Entwicklung von CO2-Entnahme-Methoden zu investieren und vermehrt praktische Erfahrungen mit deren Einsatz zu sammeln. Nur wenn es der EU und ihren Mitgliedstaaten auf dem Weg zu Netto Null tatsächlich gelingt, konventionelle Emissionsminderungen und unkonventionelle CO2-Entnahmen überzeugend miteinander zu verbinden, kann die EU ihrem Vorreiter-Anspruch in der Klimapolitik gerecht werden

    Abstract: Re-occurring dry and hot summers with high irradiance have caused irreversible damages in forest ecosystems across Central Europe, including the ICOS ecosystem associate site Hartheim (DE-Har). The site experienced irreversible damages to a Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) plantation with a mortality of >50% of all P. sylvestris trees following the 2018 drought. Dead and fallen trees were generally not removed in the area surrounding the site. In the last 6 years, DE-Har has undergone a significant regime change in which increased light under the damaged/missing tree crowns has accelerated growth of deciduous understory trees. We use eddy covariance measurements from pre- and post-drought periods and combine them with ecophysiological measurements at the individual tree level to estimate effects on long-term carbon, energy and water fluxes. We find that CO2 uptake in summer is only about 40% of pre-drought uptake and that in the period 2019-2023 the site became an annual net carbon source, whereas 15 years ago the forest was a considerable CO2 sink. Ecophysiological measurements show that understory trees have higher transpiration and ecophysiological activity compared to the previously dominant P. sylvestris canopy. On a decadal scale, annual transpiration increased and the seasonality of fluxes was intensified, as can be seen on remote sensing products related to canopy greenness such as satellite-based vegetation indices and phenocams. The observed changes altogether provide information on how forests that reached tipping points transition functionally and structurally and how this affects interactions between land and atmosphere

    Bei den deutschen Treibhausgasemissionen außerhalb des Europäischen Emissionshandelssystems (EU ETS) verlaufen Reduktionen schleppend, obwohl eine Vielzahl von Instrumenten und erhebliche finanzielle Mittel zur Anwendung kommen. Die Autoren empfehlen daher dem deutschen Klimakabinett, Maßnahmen zu beschließen, die den CO2-Preis über möglichst viele verschiedene Sektoren angleichen, und gleichzeitig die Voraussetzungen für ein umfassendes und damit effizientes EU-Emissionshandelssystem zu schaffen. Auf dem Weg dorthin sprechen sich die Autoren für ein duales Preissystem aus, indem ein nationales Emissionshandelssystem in den bisher noch nicht vom europäischen Emissionshandel erfassten Sektoren eingeführt wird, das nach festem Zeitplan mit dem bereits bestehenden Europäischen Emissionshandelssystem integriert wird. Dieser Schritt sollte mit einer Abkehr von dirigistischen Eingriffen, der Einführung von Mechanismen zur Gewährleistung von Preisuntergrenzen sowie der Umverteilung der Einnahmen begleitet werden. Um die Verlagerung von Emissionen zu verhindern, muss zusätzlich ein Grenzausgleich eingeführt werden, so dass gleichzeitig Anreize für internationale Anstrengungen gesetzt werden, CO2-Preissysteme einzuführen. German greenhouse gas emission reductions outside the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) are insufficient, although a variety of instruments are used and considerable funds are spent. The authors propose that the German Climate Cabinet should adopt instruments that harmonize the carbon price across as many different sectors as possible, providing at the same time incentives and linkage options for European and international partners in joining forces to achieve efficient climate policy. They are advocating achieving a comprehensive and thus efficient EU emissions trading system across all sectors and countries by introducing initially a dual pricing system through a national emissions trading scheme in sectors not yet covered by European Emissions Trading Scheme. The introduction of national emissions trading schemes (in Germany and other joining European partner countries) should be accompanied with turning away from dirigiste interventions, the introduction of mechanisms that ensure minimum carbon prices, and the redistribution of carbon revenues. To prevent carbon leakage and provide incentives for international introductions of CO2 price schemes, the European Emission Trading Scheme should be supplemented with carbon border tax adjustment.

    We analyse the effects of environmental taxes on welfare and carbon emissions at the household level for the case of Mexico. The integrated welfare‐environmental analysis, which is based on a censored energy consumer demand system, extends previous work in two ways. First, the estimation of a full matrix of substitution elasticities allows us to test the necessity of incorporating second‐order effects into the welfare analysis. Second, the substitution elasticities derived from the demand system are used to estimate the shortrun CO2 emission‐reduction potential. We find that first‐order approximations of welfare effects provide reasonable estimates, particularly for carbon taxes. Analog to evidence in other low‐ and middle‐income countries, the taxation of all energy items is found to be regressive, with the exception of motor fuels. The inclusion of CH4 and N2O in a carbon tax regime comes with particularly regressive impacts because of its strong effects on food prices. The analysis of the emission implications of different tax scenarios indicates that short‐run emission reductions at the household level can be substantial – though the effects depend on how revenue is recycled. This effectiveness combined with moderate and manageable adverse distributional impacts renders the carbon tax a preferred mitigation instrument. Considering the large effect of food price increases on poverty and the limited additional emission‐saving potential, the inclusion of CH4 and N2O in a carbon tax regime is not advisable.

Die Autoren empfehlen daher dem deutschen Klimakabinett, Maßnahmen zu beschließen, die den CO2-Preis über möglichst viele verschiedene Sektoren angleichen, und gleichzeitig die Voraussetzungen für ein umfassendes und damit effizientes EU-Emissionshandelssystem zu schaffen. Auf dem Weg dorthin sprechen sich die Autoren für ein duales Preissystem aus, indem ein nationales Emissionshandelssystem in den bisher noch nicht vom europäischen Emissionshandel erfassten Sektoren eingeführt wird, das nach festem Zeitplan mit dem bereits bestehenden Europäischen Emissionshandelssystem integriert wird. Dieser Schritt sollte mit einer Abkehr von dirigistischen Eingriffen, der Einführung von Mechanismen zur Gewährleistung von Preisuntergrenzen sowie der Umverteilung der Einnahmen begleitet werden. Um die Verlagerung von Emissionen zu verhindern, muss zusätzlich ein Grenzausgleich eingeführt werden, so dass gleichzeitig Anreize für internationale Anstrengungen gesetzt werden, CO2-Preissysteme einzuführen. German greenhouse gas emission reductions outside the European Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) are insufficient, although a variety of instruments are used and considerable funds are spent. The authors propose that the German Climate Cabinet should adopt instruments that harmonize the carbon price across as many different sectors as possible, providing at the same time incentives and linkage options for European and international partners in joining forces to achieve efficient climate policy. They are advocating achieving a comprehensive and thus efficient EU emissions trading system across all sectors and countries by introducing initially a dual pricing system through a national emissions trading scheme in sectors not yet covered by European Emissions Trading Scheme. The introduction of national emissions trading schemes (in Germany and other joining European partner countries) should be accompanied with turning away from dirigiste interventions, the introduction of mechanisms that ensure minimum carbon prices, and the redistribution of carbon revenues. To prevent carbon leakage and provide incentives for international introductions of CO2 price schemes, the European Emission Trading Scheme should be supplemented with carbon border tax adjustment.

    We analyse the effects of environmental taxes on welfare and carbon emissions at the household level for the case of Mexico. The integrated welfare‐environmental analysis, which is based on a censored energy consumer demand system, extends previous work in two ways. First, the estimation of a full matrix of substitution elasticities allows us to test the necessity of incorporating second‐order effects into the welfare analysis. Second, the substitution elasticities derived from the demand system are used to estimate the shortrun CO2 emission‐reduction potential. We find that first‐order approximations of welfare effects provide reasonable estimates, particularly for carbon taxes. Analog to evidence in other low‐ and middle‐income countries, the taxation of all energy items is found to be regressive, with the exception of motor fuels. The inclusion of CH4 and N2O in a carbon tax regime comes with particularly regressive impacts because of its strong effects on food prices. The analysis of the emission implications of different tax scenarios indicates that short‐run emission reductions at the household level can be substantial – though the effects depend on how revenue is recycled. This effectiveness combined with moderate and manageable adverse distributional impacts renders the carbon tax a preferred mitigation instrument. Considering the large effect of food price increases on poverty and the limited additional emission‐saving potential, the inclusion of CH4 and N2O in a carbon tax regime is not advisable.
