To develop Farm Solutions (which would contain event receivers) for SharePoint 2016 you need a machine with SharePoint 2016, Visual Studio 2015, and the Microsoft Office Developer Tools Preview 2 for Visual Studio 2015.

You also asked about developing Farm Solutions in SharePoint 2013 and deploying them to SharePoint 2016. The testing I did suggests that this would work. Of course there could be cases where it won't work so you should test thoroughly if you try this.

See my YouTube video What's New for Developers in SharePoint 2016 for more on both subjects.
