Exposure Of Chinese Exports To Potential Border Carbon Adjustments

The document examines the risk of carbon leakage and the use of Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) to mitigate cost asymmetries created by carbon pricing. It specifically analyzes the exposure of Chinese exports to these measures, noting that the impact varies significantly based on the products included, the CO2 price applied, and the method used to assess CO2 content.

• Border Carbon Adjustments (BCAs) are proposed as a way to limit distortions in consumption and production caused by cost asymmetries when some countries implement carbon pricing and others do not, thereby reducing the risk of carbon leakage.
• The extent to which Chinese exports are exposed to BCAs is subject to significant uncertainty based on three primary design factors: the specific products included, the applied CO2 price, and the methodology for assessing CO2 content.
