  1. 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

  2. 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 2700 2600 2500 2400 2300 Mt -24% 2200 2100 2000 -30% 1900 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 Real emissions in 2020 (WEM) Trajectory from the 2020 target Possible trajectory

  3. 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 other sectors • This double objective can basically be reached in all three options to integrate LULUCF into 2030 framework (separate pillar, AFOLU pillar,

  4. 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 other 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.

  5. 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 options 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
