What should the ESD look like? The German perspective

Jasper Braam Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Protection, Building and Nuclear Safety The Effort Sharing Decision Post-2020: How to ensure the EU‘s largest climate isntrument is fit for purpose? Brussels, 1 June 2016

Target-setting

Formula set by the European Council, based on current

rules (GDP/capita)

GDP/capita > EU average: GDP/capita + cost-efficiency
Starting point as important for climate ambition as end
point. Thus: use real emissions, capped by 2020 target

1900 2000 2100 2200 2300 2400 2500 2600 2700 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Real emissions in 2020 (WEM) Trajectory from the 2020 target Possible trajectory

LULUCF

LULUCF plays an important role in climate action, in

particular in order to reach GHG neutrality

Important: set incentives for climate action in LULUCF
At the same time: preserve targets and ambition levels in
ther sectors
This double objective can basically be reached in all three
ptions to integrate LULUCF into 2030 framework

(separate pillar, AFOLU pillar,

Flexibility

Current flexibilities yet unproven due to oversupply

(banking, borrowing, trade) – but should work in principle.

Problem: trade unlikely to occur under scarcity post-2020
Idea: possibility to finance GHG reduction projects in
ther MS and count resulting mitigation towards own

target  “European Project Mechanism”?

Create a win-win situation and make the ESD more

attractive.

No environmental risk.

Reflecting Paris

Paris Agreement requires five-yearly regular stock-take

and NDC review, starting in 2018-2020

EU must actively participate in this process and keep all
ptions open, including to raise ambition by 2020
Need to reflect PA in 2030 legislation, including ESD
Most solid: Requirement to review 2030 target in 2019,

but other options possible
