TAIEX RIPAP National technical workshop on the EU Emission Trading System

The aim of this technical workshop is to support representatives of the Ministry of Environment and Urbanisation in Turkey in their implementation of an Emissions Trading System modelled along the EU ETS.

Turkey has conducted a range of activities to support implementation of a carbon market mechanism. Specifically on ETS it has developed a Monitoring and Reporting (M&R) regulation, regulation for Accreditation and Verification (A&V), developed guidebooks to prepare for implementation of ETS and conducted a series of training on MRVA.
This technical workshop will therefore:

• Support the Ministry and the future EU ETS stakeholders with an improved understanding of the reasons to choose for ETS compared to other climate policies;
• Support the technical understanding of all stakeholders on specific design issues such as allocation methods, cap setting, carbon leakage, price control and revenue recycling;
• Provide an improved understanding of choices made on these specific aspects in the EU ETS and lessons learned;
• Facilitate in-depth discussions with stakeholders to address their specific questions and deepen their knowledge.
