Welcome to a breakfast seminar about the European New Green Deal
The Green New Deal sets out a roadmap to make Europe the first carbon neutral continent by 2050. It includes proposals for higher ambitions compared to previous climate targets, also reforming the EU emissions trading system and trade measures. But which reforms are under discussion? And what impacts may they have on EU climate objectives and on Swedish and EU industry?
Researchers from Mistra Carbon Exit will shortly present ongoing research connected to the current policy debate in Europe. Special emphasis will be made on the EU ETS and border carbon adjustments.
In the seminar we will also hear comments from the private industry affected by the Green New Deal. What does the industry think about increasing the climate ambition by 2030? Will we need border protection to protect European industry? How about a possible enlargement of the EU ETS to include more sectors?
