What Can Least Developed Countries and Other Climate Vulnerable Countries Expect from The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)?
Summary
This briefing introduces an analysis of the potential impacts of the European Commission's proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on least developed countries and climate-vulnerable nations, including small island developing states.
Key insights
- The European Commission's CBAM proposal, scheduled for release on July 14, 2021, is intended to be part of the 'Fit for 55' legislative package, which aims to reduce emissions by 55 percent compared to 1990 levels by the year 2030.
- The briefing aims to evaluate the CBAM's effects on climate-vulnerable countries by analyzing the differences between the European Commission's draft language and the European Parliament's position, identifying affected sectors and countries that rely on carbon-intensive exports to the EU, and exploring how CBAM revenues could support low-carbon transitions abroad.
