]]> Carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAM) are an emerging set of trade policy tools that aim to prevent carbon-intensive economic activity from moving out of jurisdictions with relatively stringent climate policies and into those with relatively less stringent policies. Border adjustments have the potential to increase the environmental effectiveness of climate policies, by averting shifts in economic activity that could lead to higher total greenhouse emissions—a phenomenon known as “carbon leakage.” They are also seen as a way of protecting industrial competitiveness by reducing the incentive for businesses to move production abroad.

This factsheet compares border adjustment-related proposals introduced in the 118th Congress (2023–2024). It also outlines key considerations in designing a carbon border adjustment.

]]> Article 6 of the Paris Agreement established a framework for countries to cooperate in achieving their climate commitments (nationally determined contributions, NDCs), using market mechanisms to enable greater ambition than they could achieve independently. The Paris Agreement implementing guidance finalized at COP26 in Glasgow provides direction to countries that transfer emissions reductions under Article 6. This paper explains that COP26 outcome and its relevance for companies and other non-Party stakeholders (NPS). In particular, the paper provides a detailed analysis of the atmospheric impact (that is, the net effect on emissions reductions) of the international transfer and use of voluntary carbon credits by NPS, whether under Article 6 or independently of it. It also describes efforts underway to ensure the environmental integrity of the voluntary carbon market, including the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity initiative (VCMI) and the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market (IC-VCM), as well as broader considerations around engaging in the VCM and carbon credits’ authorization under Article 6.
