The EU climate chessboard: elections, ambitions, and carbon market moves

– 2 February 2024

Description

As we move closer to the European elections in June, host Stefan Feuchtinger is joined by journalist Frédéric Simon from Carbon Pulse and trader Brieuc de Thier from Vertis.

Together, they unpack the record-low EUA prices, the recently unveiled EU 2040 climate target, and the spectre of the European elections looming over carbon markets. Delving deep into the political landscape that shapes the EU ETS market, they analyse how the latest official communication and the imminent elections could disrupt the status quo, potentially diluting the Green Deal. Against the backdrop of declining carbon prices and emissions levels, they explore the ripple effects for compliant entities and the impact on European industrial development.
