Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a proposed carbon tariff on carbon intensive products, such as cement and some electricity,[1] imported by the European Union.[2] Currently being legislated[3] as part of the European Green Deal it is likely to take effect in 2026 with reporting starting in 2023.[4] The price of CBAM certificates would be linked to price of EU allowances under the European Union Emissions Trading System[5][6] and it is designed to stem carbon leakage from countries without a carbon price.[7]
