Stay Ahead in the Carbon-Conscious Era
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a pioneering policy tool implemented by the European Union to address carbon leakage and promote global climate action. It aims to level the playing field by imposing a carbon cost on imports of certain goods from outside the EU, aligning them with the bloc’s ambitious carbon reduction targets. By linking trade with environmental responsibility, CBAM seeks to foster a global market that prioritizes carbon efficiency.
CBAM adjusts the cost of imports based on their carbon content, incentivizing countries and companies outside the EU to adopt greener practices to remain competitive.
By putting a price on carbon-intensive imports, CBAM aims to significantly reduce global carbon emissions, encouraging a shift towards more sustainable production methods.
The mechanism is expected to have a profound effect on international trade dynamics, possibly leading to shifts in supply chains and trade partnerships.
CBAM serves as a catalyst for other countries to strengthen their climate policies, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change.
CBAM, part of EU climate policy, aims to prevent carbon leakage by equating the carbon cost of imports with that of EU-produced goods.
CBAM targets imports of carbon-intensive products like steel, cement, fertilizers, aluminium, hydrogen, and electricity.
Importers must purchase CBAM certificates, priced according to the EU's carbon pricing, to cover the carbon emissions of their goods.
Businesses must report the carbon content of imports accurately, verified by independent bodies to ensure CBAM compliance.
CBAM includes adjustments for carbon prices paid in the product's country of origin and potential rebates in certain cases.
There are strict penalties for not adhering to CBAM regulations, including fines and possible exclusion from the EU market.
