CBAM: revenues to support LDCs in decarbonisation

English

17 May 2022.  Today the European Parliament's Committee on Environment, Public Health and Food Safety adopted the report on the regulation establishing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). CBAM is seen as a way of preventing "carbon leakage" - that is, the movement of carbon-emitting industries to other countries - as Europe transitions to a lower-carbon economy.
