Carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAMs) are poised to reshape global trade and the cost of carbon. The EU’s CBAM is the most advanced to date and is designed to level the playing field between domestic and foreign exporter producers of key carbon-intensive commodities such as steel and aluminium in the European Union. Other regions are currently exploring their own CBAM policies or may accelerate domestic carbon taxation plans in response to the EU CBAM.
