Fireside Chat // Agricultural Emissions Tax: Farming Out Responsibility

17 Oct 2025
Auditorium
Main Stage
  • Should emissions be taxed at the production stage or the consumption stage to effectively reduce agricultural GHG emissions?
  • How could VAT reforms based on food products’ GHG intensity shift consumer behaviour and reduce emissions?
  • How can food-related climate taxes be designed to avoid disproportionately affecting lower-income households?
  • What would be the potential impacts of agricultural taxation on EU producer competitiveness, and how could carbon leakage be avoided?
  • How could an EU Emissions Trading System (AgETS) be effectively implemented to tackle agricultural emissions, considering the sector’s complexity and specific challenges?
