Carbon markets are facing an increasing amount of challenges whether in Europe after many and various attacks -VAT fraud, hackers, reuse of CERs , plus falling demand following the recession - or in the US where many initiatives are threatened by the new Congress. This seminar intends to give a broad overview of the status of carbon markets across the world. Sarah Ladislaw, an energy expert at CSIS will address the state of the RGGI, the California work, the sentiment in Congress or that of recently elected state level officials and why the CCX in Chicago went out of the business and what that means. She will give us a perspective of the bottom up actions in the US. Oliver Sartor, research fellow at the CDC climat, will describe the status of the EU ETS prior to enter the 3rd phasis and the new rules to expect, how is ETS faring after the market crash in 2008-9 and the theft of permits from some European markets. To conclude these presentations, Isabelle Currien, Carbon Analyst with the Deutsche Bank, will focus on the CDM market whose future is one of the stakes in international climate negotiations. She will examine in particular the impact of new rules under the EU ETS on the development of CDM projects.

Brussels, Germany, France and Italy Facing the Energy and Industrial Crises: Coordinated or Diverging Trajectories?
Amidst soaring defense spending, higher borrowing costs, erosion of energy intensive industries, renewed energy price hikes and possibly physical shortages, the European Union and its Member States are again struggling to stabilize the European economies. Governments are tempted by uncoordinated, short-term moves while in Brussels, there is a struggle between the “more of the same” and the “scrap it largely” approaches to the transition.
Geopolitical stakes of the New Moon race
As the United States, China, and India solidify their lunar ambitions, Europe is still seeking to define its stance: should it be a reliable partner or an autonomous strategic player? This conference will examine the stakes of this new race to the Moon and Europe’s interest in asserting itself as a lunar power through partnerships, industrial ambitions, and whether its participation in the new lunar race serves as a lever for strategic autonomy and internal cohesion, or an illustration of its dependence.
