Rapid Response: The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

January 9, 2026

Register

On January 1, 2026, the European Union’s highly-anticipated Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will take effect. Introduced in 2023, CBAM will require the importers of certain carbon-intensive goods to pay for the emissions that were generated in their production. 

The policy is the first of its kind anywhere in the world and a major use of the EU’s trading power to hold countries to account for their carbon emissions. However, CBAM’s rollout has been met with concerns about how emissions will be measured and higher costs for smaller producers that may have trouble complying. 

On December 17, the EU announced several revisions to CBAM. The policy could have huge implications for governments, businesses, and consumers. 

Join experts from the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University SIPA for a virtual webinar on how CBAM works, arguments that have been made for and against the policy, and how its implementation is expected to unfold. 

Panelists include: 

  • Kadri Simson, Distinguished Visiting Fellow, CGEP, and former European Commissioner for Energy
  • Gautam Jain, Senior Research Scholar, CGEP
  • Trevor Sutton, Director, Program on Trade and the Clean Energy Transition, CGEP
  • Sagatom Saha, Blue Horizons Foundation (moderator)

This public event will be hosted via Zoom. Upon registration, a confirmation email will be sent to you with the Zoom access link for the briefing.
