The introduction of the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has triggered statistically significant negative stock market responses for firms within the EU. Comparing EU customers that have non-EU suppliers in CBAM-affected industries with their non- treated peers in the control group,...

This study examines the impacts of the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on corporate costs, adaptation strategies, and international trade. CBAM aims to supplement the EU's emissions trading system and mitigate the risk of carbon leakage. The report evaluates the...

The foundation of the European Union-Turkey economic and trade relations lies in the Customs Union and more broadly in the bilateral preferential trade framework, established in December 1995. For over nearly three decades, this partnership has played a pivotal role in integrating Turkish...

We examine the industrial effects of two measures aimed at mitigating carbon leakage: the EU's scheduled Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) and the allocation of free emission allowances. Currently, the EU allocates free emission allowances based on output (known as outputbased...

Geoeconomic concepts are gaining importance in EU trade policy. In this context new trade policy instruments are designed to protect the internal market against unfair trade practices, coercive actions as well as to ensure sustainable supply chains and the protection of human rights. The study...

Kernziele der neuen EU-Kommission sind es, die geoökonomische Widerstandsfähigkeit zu erhöhen, die Dekarbonisierung voranzutreiben und die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit zu steigern. Dafür ist die EU auf Schwellenländer wie Brasilien angewiesen. Doch während China sein Engagement in Brasilien...

The 29th Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku revealed a shift in the balance of power in international climate politics following the US elections. While China played a constructive role in the negotiations on international climate finance, vulnerable countries were forced to make painful...

Auf der 29. Weltklimakonferenz (COP29) vom 11. bis 24. November 2024 wurde deutlich, dass sich die Kräfteverhältnisse in der internationalen Klimapolitik nach den Wahlen in den USA verschieben. China spielte bei den Verhandlungen zu internationaler Klimafinanzierung eine konstruktive Rolle....

Die Ergebnisse der 28. Weltklimakonferenz zeigen, dass internationale Zusammenarbeit trotz der geopolitisch schwierigen Lage möglich ist. Statt der befürchteten Blockade einigten sich die Staaten drei Jahrzehnte nach Beginn des COP-Prozesses erstmals auf die Abkehr von fossilen Brennstoffen in...

This article examines the hydrogen partnerships between Germany, the EU and Egypt in the context of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Germany, the largest future hydrogen importer in the EU, and Egypt, a country with an ambitious hydrogen strategy, are developing a partnership...

Energy production and consumption is the primary source of global carbon emissions. In order to achieve the goal of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) in the Paris Agreement, countries around the world have set off an upsurge of energy transition. The EU has ambitious INDCs....

International cooperation on climate change and trade is intensifying, as highlighted by numerous initiatives launched at the multilateral, plurilateral, and bilateral levels. This is an encouraging development, signaling the major role of trade policy in supporting decarbonization efforts and...

In its “Fit for 55” program, the European Union (EU) integrates several instruments with the goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. One of the cornerstones of the program is the EU Emissions Trading System (EU-ETS), which imposes a levy on CO2 and other greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,...

We assess the potential impact of the EU carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) based on the European Commission's proposal presented in 2021. The CBAM products are divided into four categories: cement, fertilizers, iron and steel products, and aluminium products. In terms of production and...

The European Commission’s (EC) proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is meant to mirror the carbon price of the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) for several imported goods. While the CBAM can rely on certain aspects of the EU ETS regarding its costs and compliance obligations,...

The implementation of the European Union's (EU) Green Deal to reduce emissions by 2030 and to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 will have an impact on the EU's trade policy and on its trade relations with its non-EU partners. With the ongoing decarbonisation process of European economic...

At a time, international climate finance was most hotly contested, demands again rose for major greenhouse gas emitters’ contributions to climate change to be costed and compensated. One central aspect was to address the loss and damage thus created, the expenses associated with...

With the EU adopting more ambitious emission reduction targets this year, the European Commission in July published a proposal on measures for adjusting EU climate policy. Measures include a carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM) that imposes a price on emissions embodied in products imported...

Carbon pricing is seen as an essential tool of decarbonisation, and hence of meeting net zero emissions targets by 2050. Both the EU 27 and the UK have committed to reaching net zero by 2050, and include carbon pricing as part of their strategy. The paper provides an overview of the current...
