In December 2022, the European institutions reached a provisional agreement in the CBAM trilogues. The transitional phase of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism started in October 2023, with actual implementation starting from 2026. In this roundtable, we discussed the function of the CBAM in a portfolio of instruments for industrial decarbonisation, focusing on the role of additional support policies in an evolving global context.

This roundtable discussion brought together global experts in the areas of economics, law, and policy to assess existing proposals of how to treat non-pricing policies in the EU CBAM.
