What are 'embedded emissions' and can global trade help reduce them?

The European Union is implementing a 'Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism' (CBAM) that will levy a fee on importing certain goods that are produced in countries that lack regulations forcing producers to cut their greenhouse gas emissions.

It's an idea that other countries are considering, but is also hugely complex and may be challenged by exporter countries. Two expert guests explain the policy and its implications for business and global trade.

Speakers:

Aaron Cosbey, Senior Associate, International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)

Dandy Rafitrandi, researcher at the Department of Economics, Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), Indonesia

Kimberley Botwright, Head, Sustainable Trade, World Economic Forum (co-host)
