Webinar - Balancing carbon markets: design options and trade-offs in price-based supply adjustments

Organiser: Florence School of Regulation (FSR)

As the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) approaches its 2026 reform, attention is turning to how market tightness is managed. The current tool – the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) – relies on a quantity-based mechanism to adjust supply. While it has helped address historical surplus, its responsiveness and predictability are increasingly questioned as the market enters a phase of structural scarcity.

This online debate explores an alternative approach: introducing price-based mechanisms to manage supply-demand tightness in compliance carbon markets. The session will focus on the practical challenges of implementing such tools, drawing on operational precedents from other systems worldwide and a robust body of literature supporting their economic rationale.

Webinar - Shanghai Dialogue on Pressing Energy and Climate Issues 2025

Organiser: Agora Energiewende

As the global landscape of the energy transition and climate governance continues to evolve, 2025 is a crucial year for aligning innovation, policy and international cooperation. Rapid advances in digitalisation and artificial intelligence are reshaping how the world approaches energy systems, climate policy and industrial transformation. In this changing context, the 2025 Shanghai Dialogue will convene experts and stakeholders from China, Europe, North America and Southeast Asia to explore how technological progress, inclusive policymaking and cross-border collaboration can drive a more resilient and equitable global energy future.

This year’s event will highlight how global energy and climate governance can adapt to a new era defined by complex interdependencies and accelerating change. Discussions will examine the implications of artificial intelligence for the global energy transition, the transformation of power systems to accommodate high shares of renewable energy and the evolving role of distributed renewable energy in shaping local and national pathways.
