This panel was co-convened by the European Roundtable on Climate Change and Sustainable Transition (ERCST) and the World Economic Forum.

The use of carbon pricing instruments is growing worldwide. So too, is interest in border carbon adjustments (BCAs), to ease industry competitiveness concerns. This reflects a growing need to improve dialogue between trade and climate governance forums. Many climate-trade discussions are underway, but there are few systemic or formalised processes. Would this be needed, and how can we ensure that trade policy is put at the service of accelerated climate action?

In this panel, we aimed to improve the climate community’s understanding of trade debates on BCAs, as well as scope mechanisms for trade and climate policy linkages.
