The debate will take place at a particularly relevant moment in the policy cycle, as the European Commission is expected to present its assessment on the possible treatment of emissions from residual waste, including the role of waste-to-energy facilities, in the context of the forthcoming ETS review.
The issue raises important questions at the intersection of climate policy, circular economy objectives, national waste-management systems, and the continuity of local public services. In this context, the roundtable aims to offer an open and pragmatic forum for exchange among European institutions, Member State representatives, local authorities, industry and sector stakeholders.
The discussion will focus, in particular, on the suitability of the ETS as an instrument for this segment of the waste value chain, the possible implications for national and local waste-management systems, and the role of complementary or alternative measures.
We would be delighted to welcome you to the discussion.
