- The EU has implemented the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to address the risk of carbon leakage.
- CBAM sets a fair price for the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods imported into the EU.
- The mechanism aims to promote cleaner industrial production in non-EU countries.
- Carbon leakage occurs when EU companies move polluting production to countries with less strict climate policies or when carbon-intensive imports replace EU products.
- CBAM is regulated in Regulation 2023/956 of the European Parliament and encourages the reduction of the EU’s carbon footprint.
