IMF update

 

Dear maria, As Europe contends with the cold winter months, governments face difficult policy choices as they seek to protect consumers from soaring energy bills in an environment of generally high inflation, write the IMF’s Oya Celasun and Dora Iakova in the December issue of F&D Magazine. They estimate that high energy prices have raised the cost of living for the average European household by about 7 percent this year relative to early 2021—adding to inflationary pressures from disruptions to food shipments and supply chains “With energy prices projected to remain higher than prewar levels for some time, Europe’s policy emphasis must shift rapidly from price-suppressing measures to income relief targeted to the vulnerable.” Read the full article The Scramble for Energy—F&D December 2022 Our latest edition of F&D Magazine focuses on what geopolitical tensions mean for the clean transition. Authors include: Fatih Birol, Daniel Yergin, Ricardo Hausmann, Ted Nordhaus, Thijs Van de Graaf, Andrea Pescatori, Jeromin Zettelmeyer, Oya Celasun, Jason Bordoff, Edward Glaeser, Ratna Sahay, and many more.

COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION update

 

Press material Sunday 18 December 2022

● Council of the EU   18/12/2022 03:42 | Press release | 'Fit for 55': Council and Parliament reach provisional deal on EU emissions trading system and the Social Climate Fund   The Council and the European Parliament reached a provisional political agreement on important legislative proposals of the ‘Fit for 55’ package that will further reduce emissions and address their social impacts. The deal is provisional pending formal adoption in both institutions. "The agreement on the EU Emissions Trading System and the Social Climate Fund is a victory for the climate and for European climate policy. This will allow us to meet climate objectives within the main sectors of the economy, while making sure the most vulnerable citizens and micro-enterprises are effectively supported in the climate transition. We can now safely say that the EU has delivered on its promises with ambitious legislation and this puts us at the forefront of fighting climate change globally." Marian Jurečka Czech minister for environment EU emissions trading system The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a carbon market based on a system of cap-and-trade of emission allowances for energy-intensive industries and the power generation sector. It is the EU's main tool in addressing emissions reductions, covering about 40% of the EU's total CO2 emissions. Since its introduction in 2005, the EU's emissions have decreased by 41%. The agreement reached today makes the system more ambitious in order to cut down even further emissions.

Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman’s Remarks at the Aspen Ministers Forum 12/10/2022 Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman’s Remarks at the Aspen Ministers Forum 12/10/2022 07:01 PM EST Office of the Spokesperson Prague, Czech Republic As Prepared Good evening, and thank you, Foreign Minister Avila, for that kind introduction. What a privilege to speak before so many titans of foreign affairs—keepers of the flame of diplomacy and democracy in so many parts of our planet. All of you know how decisions are forged, because you’ve made them. All of you understand how deals are negotiated, because you’ve had a seat at the table. All of you appreciate the stakes of our present moment, because you’ve faced similar challenges before. So I join you with deep humility, honored to be able to share a few thoughts with you on the state of democracy and the legacy of one of its greatest champions—a friend, mentor, role model, business partner, and colleague to everyone here: Madeleine Albright. It is fitting that we meet in the city of Madeleine’s birth—and that we gather as part of the Aspen Ministers Forum, a group she affectionately called “Madeleine and her exes.”
