EU Border Carbon Adjustment and the risk of an uneven transition

This event looks at how the EU’s plans for a border carbon adjustment mechanism may impact the global transition to a low-carbon economy. In conversation with researchers and policymakers, we explore the potential impacts of BCA for international relations, especially the effects such a policy would have on developing countries. The panel discussion asks: how can the EU balance its priority of stopping carbon leakage without deepening the decarbonization divide?
