This high-level event will explore how trade and trade-related policies could be used to support decarbonisation, focusing specifically on Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms (CBAM). Alternatives to CBAMs, such as the inclusion of climate and environmental conditions in trade agreements and the formation of ‘Carbon clubs’ are also discussed. The event, organised by the Brussels office of CISL, will centre on the launch of a new report ‘On the Borderline: The EU CBAM and its place in the world of trade’. The report presents an independent analysis that provides a systematic and thorough assessment of the opportunities and barriers for implementing CBAMs, and what factors could improve their feasibility. It contributes to the growing debate on the EU’s recent CBAM proposal, which has attracted much discussion and interest around the role of trade in climate policy and the impact of climate policy on trade relations. The research and event have been supported by Microsoft. Speakers include: Antoine Colombani, Member of Cabinet of Frans Timmermans, European Commission Executive Vice-President for the European Green Deal Casper Klynge, Vice President for European Government Affairs, Microsoft Dr Susanne Dröge, Senior Fellow, Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik Thomas Hörnfeldt, Vice President for Sustainability & Public Affairs, SSAB Dr Alberto Arribas-Herranz, Sustainability Science Lead, Europe, Microsoft Pierre Jérémie, Advisor in charge of heavy industries, energy and the circular economy to Ms Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister in charge of Industry Catrina Rorke, Vice President of Policy, Climate Leadership Council Clare Shine, Director and CEO of CISL Dr Sanna Markkanen, Research Lead, Centre for Policy and Industrial transformation, CISL Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, Director of the European Centre for International Political Economy Hector Pollitt, Chief Economist, Chief Economist, Cambridge Econometrics Professor Jorge E.
