The purpose of this new inquiry is to look at the role CBAMs could play in preventing carbon leakage and meeting the UK’s environmental objectives. It will also consider the wider impacts, risks and opportunities of the UK Government introducing its own unilateral CBAM.
This evidence session aims to explore these areas with academics and representatives from the Climate Change Committee, Zero Carbon Campaign, E3G and others.
