The EU has also decided on a new Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) which imposes a carbon price on imports, thereby de facto externalising the EU ETS price to goods produced elsewhere in the world. The EU now needs to deploy much more effort to promote carbon pricing in a global context based on the considerable policy learning that the EU ETS represents.
