πŸ”₯ Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

● India is consistently raising objections on EU's CBAM as it may hamper India's trade ties with EU.

● CBAM is part of the β€œFit for 55 in 2030 package". It envisages EU’s plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels in line with the European Climate Law.

● The CBAM is a policy tool aimed at reducing Carbon Emissions by ensuring that imported goods are subject to the same carbon costs as products produced within the EU.

● The CBAM will be implemented by requiring importers to declare the quantity of goods imported into the EU and their embedded Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions on an annual basis.

● To offset these emissions, importers will need to surrender a corresponding number of CBAM certificates.

● The price of certificates will be based on the weekly average auction price of EU Emission Trading System (ETS) allowances in €/tonne of CO2 emitted.
