While EU is preparing its ambitious Fit for 55 package and implementing the Green Deal – US is currently rejoining the climate club. Globally not only suspended COP negotiations are deciding its format, but also the BCA discussions emerge in different jurisdictions.
A series of recent White House announcements have put the climate policy at the center of the political agenda of the new US Administration: a commitment to a decarbonized power sector by 2035, a net zero economy by 2050 and the organization of a climate summit in April are expected to give a legislative action boost on a federal level. Nevertheless, US climate envoy John Kerry warned the EU to wait until after the COP summit to move forward with the CBAM.

This meeting is on the record and press is invited
